Team India captain Rohit Sharma believes that Rishabh Pant has a knack for bringing laughter, both on and off the field.

Speaking on a podcast, Rohit expressed his delight at Pant's return and praised his infectious sense of humor.

"If there's anyone who can make me laugh, it's Rishabh Pant. He's one quirky guy, as we all know. I've seen him since he was young, and I was disappointed when he had to take time off due to that incident. But I'm thrilled to see him back on the field. He's witty and has a unique way of doing things. Whenever I need a good laugh, I reach out to him. He always has something funny to say, and it never fails to lighten the mood," Rohit remarked.
