Urvashi Rautela has been hitting the headlines since she had an interview with Bollywood Hungama. The saga looks never-ending as the actress updated a story with actor Ram Potheni on her social media accounts. However, what caught the eye was her hashtag “#RP” as in the interview earlier, Rautela had mentioned the same initials, which paved the way for fans to link it to Indian cricketer Rishabh Pant.
Although fans almost confirmed that it was related to Pant, the actress’ recent story added more fuel to the fire. As soon as Rautela mentioned “RP” in the interview, Pant hit back saying that a few people crave attention on his Instagram story, which, he deleted it. The renowned actress, who took cognizance of the same, replied by uploading a story in which she addressed Pant as a ‘kid’ and advised him to stick to only cricket.
Pant’s nightmare on and off the field
While Rautela has been continuing her antics, Pant, on the other hand, is having nightmares both on and off the field. The left-handed batter is lacking runs under his belt and the emergence of Dinesh Karthik has put the batter out of the radar for a while.
Averaging only around 26, Pant has not been at his best in the shortest format this year and out of the 21 innings that he has played, the left-handed batter has only 1 fifty to his name. On the contrary, Karthik has been finishing games well for team India and has also been keeping wickets for the Men in Blue in the ongoing 20-20 World Cup 2022.
While Pant has been dealing with issues off the field, it remains to see if he would make a point with the bat at the earliest. Although the chances for his comeback into the playing XI look bleak as of now, Pant can bounce back on his day, if he is given the opportunity.
As it stands, after clinching two victories against Pakistan and Netherlands, the Men in Blue is all set to take on the Temba Bavuma-led South African team on October 30, Sunday in Perth stadium.
Let us take a look at how fans reacted to Rautela’s latest Instagram story featuring renowned actor Pothineni:
