Team India wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant, enjoyed a game of football along with his friends at the Wembley Stadium in London. Pant was in attendance at the historic game between England and Germany, which the hosts eventually won by 2-0 as they defeated their old rivals in the knockouts for the first time since 1966.
Rishabh Pant, like all his teammates, is enjoying some downtime after the World Test Championship (WTC) final against New Zealand and before the team assembles on July 14 in London ahead of the five-match Test series against England in August.
While skipper Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane, Ishant Sharma, Mayank Agarwal are getting some quality time to spend with their families, Pant's presence in the Euro game took the internet by storm, which he described as a good experience.
While many fans questioned Rishabh Pant for not wearing a mask and wondered if COVID-19 is no longer there in England, some users decided to have some fun as they came up with hilarious replies to his picture.
Here are some of the reactions:
Bro, Corona is only in India? Or we are being lied to stay at home, wear a mask and maintain social distance!

England owing to strikes from Raheem Sterling in the 75th minute and captain Harry Kane in the 86th minute eliminated the pre-tournament favourites Germany and advanced to the quarterfinals where they will face off against Ukraine, who beat Sweden in the final game of the Round of 16.
