Rishabh Pant took his 'X' (formerly known as Twitter) shared a video where both cricketers are playing golf. The place seems like the lobby area of the Indian team's hotel. But what caught everyone's eyes was the way the duo was playing golf. Instead of playing golf with the club, Rishabh Pant and Suryakumar were playing it with the cricket bat and ball. The clip of Pant and SKY went viral in no time.
