The Burmese Army Standing gives ovation because Rishabh Pant celebrates his century

Did it make it even more special? That signature pants flare-they pulled a tambalting “semi-sweep, semi-scoop”
Rishabh Pant just lit up Headingley with a knock that had even the famously partisan Barmy Army on their feet! He smashed a dazzling 134 off 178 balls on Day 2 of the first Test against England and celebrated his century with a cartwheel that had the crowd roaring.
What made it even more special? That signature Pant flair—he pulled off a tumbling “semi-sweep, semi-scoop” shot that defied logic and field placements, landing flat on his back and rolling over like it was all part of the plan. The Barmy Army, known for their cheeky chants and fierce loyalty to England, couldn’t help but applaud the sheer audacity and entertainment Pant brought to the crease.
