Pant’s Red-ball Return Crucial Aspect In Keepers' Contest At Duleep Trophy
T20 World Cup: If there’s one image that will forever etch itself from the best cricketing moments of 2024, it is undoubtedly the sight of Rishabh Pant coming out to bat at number four after a long absence of 15 months, during the Delhi Capitals-Punjab Kings match in March at Mullanpur.
The morning of December 30, 2022, brought genuine scare and tension to the cricketing fraternity. Pant’s life-threatening car accident on the way to his home in Roorkee, Uttarakhand, left everyone wondering if he could ever play in the same remarkable way that won him accolades from fans around the world.
But this year Pant has convincingly dispelled all those doubts with his impressive performances in the IPL 2024, as a wicketkeeper-batter. He further showcased his skills on challenging pitches in New York during India’s successful T20 World Cup campaign. Additionally, he made a comeback to ODI cricket through the Sri Lanka tour, although the outcome didn’t yield the expected result.
