Batting great Matthew Hayden feels Rishabh Pant will a key player for India when they travel to Australia for a five-Test series later this year owing to his "muscle memory and thirst for victory" that made him such a sensation during the team's previous tour Down Under. The eagerly-anticipated five-Test series starts on November 22 at Perth.
Team India's star wicket-keeper batsman gave fans a sneak peek into his love for cinema, as he recreated actor Rajinikanth's iconic sitting pose from the film 'Kabali'. Pant - who has made a successful comeback into the India setup after recovering from his horrific car accident - posted a collage, where he is mimicking the same post as the legendary South Indian actor. The post went viral amongst fans, racking up a whopping 600,000 likes in just six hours of being uploaded.
Indian cricket team wicket-keeper batter Dhruv Jurel had a good outing in the Test series against England earlier in 2024 with 190 runs in four innings across three Tests. However, with India taking on Bangladesh in a 2-match Test series, Jurel's position in the side remains uncertain. Rishabh Pant had a good showing in the T20 World Cup 2024 and with his inclusion for the Duleep Trophy, the selectors have shown great trust in him. KL Rahul and Ishan Kishan have also staked their claim for a spot in the India squad with Jurel finding himself in a tough fight. However, the youngster remains unfazed by the challenges and he said that he wants to take one day at a time without any kind of "unnecessary pressure".
The BCCI on August 14 named the squads for the first round of Duleep Trophy 2024-25. With the four-team tournament set to start on September 5, India's wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant will be marking his return to red-ball cricket. Pant has been picked in 'Team B' and it is interesting to note that he has not been named the captain of the side. Instead, Abhimanyu Easwaran has been assigned the duty to lead the team. Former India cricekter Aakash Chopra has questioned BCCI's move regarding that, as years ago Pant was seen as the successor of Rohit in Test captaincy.
Indian cricket team wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant scored 35 off 32 balls for Purani Dilli 6 in the Delhi Premier League (DPL) match against South Delhi Superstarz on Saturday. While the pace of the innings was not similar to Pant's general approach, his struggles against spin drew major criticism on social media. Pant's knock had 4 fours and one six but ended up with a strike rate of just 109. Pant had a good showing at the T20 World Cup 2024 but was unable to play big knocks - something that the fans pointed out as the expectation was for him to score big at the top of the innings.
Indian cricket team wicketkeeper batter Rishabh Pant left everyone stunned as he bowled the final over of the Delhi Premier League match between Purani Dilli 6 and South Delhi Superstarz on Saturday. Pant has never bowled in an international match but he decided to try his hand at spin bowling with the Superstarz needing just 1 run to win the encounter. The video of Pant bowling quickly went viral on social media with many users connecting it to Gautam Gambhir's recent appointment as India head coach. Since Gambhir's appointment, Suryakumar Yadav, Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma have all bowled during the series against Sri Lanka.
Ishan Kishan has made a remarkable return to red-ball cricket. He is playing for Jharkhand against Madhya Pradesh in the ongoing Buchi Babu tournament in Tamil Nadu. On his first day of action, the star was quite impressive with his glovework behind the stumps as Madhya Pradesh won the toss and opted to bat first. On the second day, Kishan boasted of his batting skills. The southpaw slammed his century in 86 balls. He got there with two consecutive sixes.
Former Australia captain Allan Border has called for The Gabba cricket ground in Brisbane to be knocked down and be replaced by a new stadium build from scratch which can cater to hosting multiple sports for 2032 Olympics. The iconic Gabba stadium has been a fortress for Australia, though India defeated them at the venue to complete an unforgettable 2-1 Border-Gavaskar Trophy series win in January 2021. The Queensland government recently abandoned a 2.7 billion dollars plan to demolish and rebuild the Gabba for the 2032 Olympic Games.
