The National Cricket India team led by Shubman Gill, officially took off on Friday, June 6 from Mumbai airport for its crucial test tour in England. This long -awaited test tour marks a new start for Indian cricket. With Rohit Sharma retiring his test cricket, Shubman Gill will not direct the test team, and Rishabh Pant, still in energy, will be his assistant.
The next five-game test series between India and England will mark the start of the new ICC World Championship Cycle (WTC) 2025-27. It’s a great moment for Team India while Gill takes care of the young team after Rohit Sharma’s retirement from Test Cricket.

However, Rishabh Pant has already made the headlines before even reaching England for the test series, thanks to its signature humor. While the national cricket team of India arrived at Mumbai airport for their flight to England, the fans and the paparazzi gathered to have an overview of the players.
With Rohit Sharma missing in the camp after their Test Cricket retirement, someone asked Pant remotely: “Where is Rohit Sharma?” The left -handed striker, who never lacks a chance to make a joke, gave a spiritual response that made everyone laugh.
In his style, the Indian window goalkeeper dropped a hilarious response, referring to the famous Rohit dialogue. Without missing a beat, Pant replied with a cheeky smile, “Garden Mein Ghoom Rahe Hai” (he wanders in the garden), referring to one of the emblematic comments of MIC on Rohit’s field during the Vizag test between India and England last year.
Pant’s spiritual response had all the cameras that burst out laughing. When someone asked if Rohit would miss, Pant smiled and said: “UNKE GARDEN KI YAAD in Aayegi (we will miss his garden).” His answer recalled one and all the famous Rohit “Koi Garden Mein Ghoomta Hua Nahi Dikhna Chahiye”, and now the clip has become viral on social media platforms.
