NEW DELHI: Rishabh Pant lit up Headingley with both bat and flair on Saturday as he celebrated his seventh Test century with a gravity-defying front-flip that instantly went viral across social media.
LIVE: India vs England 1st Test Day 2
On Day 2 of the opening Test against England, the India vice-captain brought up his hundred in vintage fashion - dancing down the track to loft Shoaib Bashir over deep midwicket for six, even with one hand off the bat. Then came the celebration: an acrobatic somersault, reminiscent of his IPL stunt earlier this year, sending fans into a frenzy.

The broadcasterโs clip of Pant's leap, captioned โWhat a knock, what a celebration!โ, has gone viral, making it one of the most talked-about moments of the match.
WATCH:
Pantโs century - his fourth against England and seventh overall - came off 146 balls and featured 10 fours and four sixes. His aggressive knock, alongside captain Shubman Gillโs 147, formed a mammoth 209-run fourth-wicket stand that helped India surge past 400.
Though England fought back late in the session to reduce India to 454/7 at lunch, the highlight remained Pantโs electrifying celebration - a moment of joy, confidence, and peak Rishabh Pant energy.
From being ruled out for months due to injury to flipping in celebration in a Test century abroad, Pant's comeback story continues to inspire - now with a viral twist.
