New Delhi, June 23 -- Rishabh Pant is a pure entertainer when he is on the field. The India wicketkeeper left no stone unturned during the second innings of the ongoing first Test on Monday in Leeds to play mind games with England pacer Chris Woakes with a hilarious apology, that went viral.

The incident occurred in the 32nd over of Indian innings. As Woakes ran in to bowl his second ball, Pant backed out at the last moment. In an apology, Pant said, "I was not ready. 'Sorry, Woakesy!" which was caught on the stump mic.

The next ball, Woakes banged in a short of length ball on the middle and leg which nipped back sharpy only. Pant played it on backfoot only to get hit on the thigh and let out a sharp cry.

With KL Rahul at the other end...
