During the Edgbaston Test between England and India, a light-hearted exchange between Rishabh Pant and Harry Brook became a viral sensation, offering a glimpse into the camaraderie and competitive spirit on the field. The incident occurred on Day 4 of the match, during India's second innings.

As Pant was batting fluently alongside Shubman Gill, Brook cheekily reminded him about the record for the fastest century in Test cricket, which stands at 55 balls. According to reports, Brook said to Pant, "The fastest I have done is 55 balls. You could have done that today". Pant, known for his calm and witty demeanor, responded with a smile, "It's okay, not very greedy for records. If it happens, it happens".

Pant's response quickly went viral, with fans appreciating his humility and focus on the team's objectives rather than personal milestones. His words reflected a mature approach to the game, emphasizing the importance of contributing to the team's success above all else.

True to his word, Pant played his natural, fearless game without forcing the pace specifically for records. He scored a brisk 65 off 58 balls, including eight boundaries and three sixes. More importantly, he formed a crucial 100-run partnership with Shubman Gill, who was also in excellent form. Pant's innings helped India build a substantial lead in the Test match. While he took a risky shot that led to his dismissal, his intent to keep the scoreboard moving was evident.

This wasn't the first time in the series that Pant had demonstrated his aggressive yet intelligent approach to Test cricket. Earlier in the series, he had already scored two centuries, establishing himself as a key middle-order player for India. His ability to accelerate the scoring rate while respecting the game's conditions has been invaluable for the team.

The exchange between Pant and Brook exemplified the friendly rivalry between the two players and the respect they have for each other. Brook's attempt to playfully sledge Pant was met with a calm and classy response, showcasing Pant's mental fortitude and confidence. Fans enjoyed this moment of levity amidst the high-pressure environment of a Test match.
