The Indian vice-captain Rishabh Pant grabbed the headlines in India's first Test at Headingley against England, scoring twin-centuries, where he also ended up shattering more records.
However, for the first time in two years, the wicketkeeper found himself in some trouble with the umpires after expressing disagreement with the umpire over the condition of the ball.

The Australian umpire, Paul Reiffel, took note of Pant's reaction of throwing the ball away in frustration and ended up reporting it to the International Cricket Council (ICC) match referee, Richie Richardson.
Check out how the events unfolded and what action is taken on the southpaw from India.
Why is Rishabh Pant facing disciplinary action during the 1st India vs England Test?
The incident happened after the fifth ball of the 60th over during England's first innings, just after Mohammed Siraj conceded a four to Harry Brook on Day 3, when the hosts were batting after India posted 471 runs on the board batting first.
Pant walked towards the umpire, showing his discontent with the shape of the ball; however, it was deemed to be in good conditions by the Aussie umpire. But Pant appeared unhappy and threw the ball away to the bowler.

He was punished under violation of Article 2.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, resulting in a demerit point being added to the Indian's disciplinary record.
Will Rishabh Pant miss any Test matches?
No. The issue was resolved fairly quickly as the 27-year-old admitted his mistake and accepted the sanction by the match referee without any disciplinary hearing.
In these level 1 offences, the players are charged with a maximum of 50% match fee with one or two demerit points added to their names.
By the end of Day 4, through the help of Pant's 134 and 118, India set a target of 371 runs for England and the hosts are 21/0 with a compelling day of cricket lined up.
Notably, previously in the Test, captain Shubman Gill was also under the scanner of the ICC for wearing black socks when batting in the first innings.
