1st Test: Pant reprimanded for showing dissent at umpire's decision on day 3
Leeds: India vice-captain Rishabh Pant has been handed an official reprimand for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during the first Test against England at Headingley, the ICC said on Tuesday.
Pant, who had an exceptional outing with the bat during the ongoing Test with his twin hundreds in the game, was reprimanded for his on-field conduct during England's first innings with the bat.
Pant was found to have breached Article 2.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to 'showing dissent at an Umpire's decision during an international match.'
In addition to this, one demerit point has been added to Pant's disciplinary record, for whom it was the first offence in 24 months.
In the 61st over of England's innings, when Harry Brook and Ben Stokes were batting, Pant was seen having a discussion with the umpires regarding the condition of the ball.
When the umpires refused to change the ball after checking it with the ball gauge, the wicket-keeper showed his dissent by throwing the ball on the ground in front of the umpires.
There was no disciplinary hearing, as Pant admitted to the offence and accepted the sanction proposed by Richie Richardson of the ICC Elite Panel of Match Referees.
The charges were brought in by the on-field umpires, Chris Gaffaney and Paul Reiffel, along with the third umpire, Sharfuddoula Ibne Shahid and the fourth umpire, Mike Burns.
Level 1 breaches carry a minimum penalty of an official reprimand, a maximum penalty of 50 per cent of a player's match fee, and one or two demerit points.
The Leeds Test is evenly poised, with the hosts needing 350 runs to win the contest on Day 5, with all 10 wickets intact.

'Wanted Virat Kohli To Lead But...': Sourav Ganguly Puts An End To Captaincy Fiasco
Former Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) chief Sourav Ganguly has made a big revelation while recalling the captain saga, after Virat Kohli stepped down as captain following the tour of South Africa in 2022. Ganguly was taking care of day-to-day operations at BCCI when Kohli was removed from ODI captaincy and was replaced with Rohit Sharma. This happened few months after Kohli resigned as T20I captain, following India's group stage exit from the 2021 T20 World Cup in Dubai. Kohli, while addressing the media before the team's departure from the Test series in South Africa, said that he was informed by the selectors that he won't be the ODI captain anymore just one and a half hours before the Test squad for the South Africa series was announced and there was no prior communication on the same from the BCCI. After lost the Test series in South Africa, Kohli also stepped down as captain of the Test team. Ganguly has now revealed that the BCCI wanted Kohli to continue as Test captain, and that Rohit was also reluctant to accept the job. "Quite natural, you have one captain for the white ball. 50 over and 20 over. We always wanted Virat to captain but he did not want to continue. Rohit was captaining Mumbai Indians, was captaining 50 overs and T20. We needed a Test captain because Virat was the Test captain till then, but he finished in South Africa. I always believed Rohit was a very good captain. So obviously, a request from the board went to him. He was reluctant because of workload. I remember having a conversation with him that you do not want to finish your career without captaining India in Test matches." "He is a very adjustable and friendly person. If you have a conversation with him, he will accept. Who will not want to be India's test captain. All these conversations were in person. I was a very hands-on board president. Meet players, talk to players," Ganguly told news agency PTI during an interaction.

IND vs ENG Test: 'Desh and nothing else' - Suniel Shetty opens up about his son-in-law KL Rahul's obsession with the game
India's KL Rahul bats on day four of the first cricket test match between England and India at Headingley in Leeds, England, Monday, June 23, 2025. (AP Photo/Scott Heppell) Suniel Shetty showered praise on his son-in-law and revealed his obsession with the game, as well as what it means to him to play for the country. The Test was interestingly poised on Monday, with India setting the hosts a tricky 371-run target for victory. Ben Stokes' side began the chase expertly on day four, with openers Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett erasing 21 runs from the total. Suniel Shetty said: "He says, 'Dad, I am playing for the country. So it doesn't matter what position I'm playing in. I want to play for the country.'" "And when you are obsessed with that, I don't think any position matters. Then it's about being mentally very, very strong. Emotionally clear. Desh and nothing else." 14:13 KL Rahul press conference: On his role, being elder brother in team, role clarity and match Rahul scored 137 while Pant smashed 118, as the duo stitched together a 195-run stand for the fourth wicket to bail India out on the fourth day of the Headingley Test. "Today was a tricky wicket. Tomorrow it might break even more. We'll give ourselves the best chance to pick up the 10 wickets," Rahul said during the post-stumps press conference. He, however, conceded that a score of around 400 would have placed India in a much stronger position. "At tea, there was a little bit of discussion on how much we need, or whether to give them (England) a few overs to bat and pick up a few wickets. Ideally, we would have wanted about 40 runs more," said Rahul. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like local network access control Esseps Learn More Undo India lost three lower-order batters for naught, while Karun Nair and Shardul Thakur too could only manage a handful of runs, as the visitors slumped from 333/5 to 364 all out.

"You just stand there and admire and sometimes scratch your head about the shots that he plays. He has his unique style of play. He enjoys his game. He has a style that none of us will understand in this room. Just let him be Rishabh Pant," said Rahul of Pant, who, despite playing conservatively, managed 118 off just 140 balls.
