Rishabh Pant is an Indian wicketkeeper-batter known for unconventional stroke play, counterattacking Test innings and the ability to change a match quickly. His return to international cricket after a serious 2022 car accident added another chapter to an already dramatic career.
Pant developed through Delhi cricket and gained national attention during the 2016 Under-19 World Cup and explosive domestic performances. He soon became one of the most attacking young batters in Indian cricket.
In Test cricket he built a reputation for major overseas innings, including hundreds in England and Australia and an unbeaten 89 at Brisbane in 2021 that completed one of India’s most celebrated series victories.
A serious car accident in December 2022 kept him out of elite cricket for more than a year. After extensive rehabilitation, Pant returned through the IPL in 2024 and then rejoined India, including the squad that won the 2024 T20 World Cup.
