Furious with Rishabh Pant, the sports presenter, identified as Pankaj, broke the TV screen and almost tossed a glass table in front of him.
“IPL is going on. He (Rishabh Pant) had his chance but I’m telling you, he has become predictable. You cannot trust him. What sort of a captain is he? We don’t need a captain like him,” Pankaj is heard saying in the viral video as he throws an object at the TV screen.
The show also had Indian sports journalist Vikrant Gupta, who was seen with a wry smile on his face while Pankaj was bashing the LSG captain.
