Indian wicketkeeper batter Rishabh Pant posted a video of what he did in a practice session today, October 14, on social media. Pant is a part of the Team India squad for the New Zealand Test series.
Returning after a hiatus of a year, Pant showed that nothing has changed since he last played competitive cricket, with the wicketkeeper-batter managing 446 runs in 13 balls. He enjoyed a great 2024 ICC Mens World Cup, scoring 171 runs in eight innings as Team India won the tournament for the second time.
On Monday, Pant posted a video on his official Instagram account, with the clip featuring Yashasvi Jaiswal and the throw-down specialist. He played a few pleasing shots in his net sessions and looked in good touch.
