Every Cricketer Faces Tough Times; Rishabh Pant Will Return Stronger, Says Kiran More
Beyond Reach Premier League: Former India wicketkeeper and chief selector Kiran More has backed wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant to overcome his lean run in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026, insisting that his resilience and courage will ensure he will make a strong comeback from a phase that happens to every cricketer.
More’s comments come after Pant’s horrid time continued with him being replaced by KL Rahul as India’s vice-captain in Tests, while losing the second keeper slot to Ishan Kishan in the ODIs for the games against Afghanistan in June.
So far, Pant has made just 286 runs in 13 matches in IPL 2026, where under his leadership, Lucknow Super Giants are at the bottom spot on the points table. Add to it, he faced flak for using the F-word live on television after LSG lost to the Rajasthan Royals in Jaipur.
