India's Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant make mockery of BCCI’s COVID-19 advisory ahead of England Test
A day after India captain Rohit Sharma tested positive for COVID-19, the BCCI advised players in England to limit their public appearances and hangouts and stay indoors, but the directives seemed to have fallen on the deaf ear of former skipper Virat Kohli and wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant.
On the last day of the practice match between India and Leicestershire on Sunday, Pant was seen flouting the Covid rules set for Indian players. The southpaw was seen posing for pictures with a section of fans.
