Rishabh Pant began his batting practice when he was seen playing some impressive smashes at a JSW function on the evening of August 15’s Independence Day. He was greeted with thunderous applause from the fans below as he made the big shots.
Notably, this is Rishabh Pant first appearance at bat in a game since the vehicle tragedy that occurred in December 2022. Rishabh Pant has been barred from playing professional cricket since that incident, and he underwent many surgeries to treat his ailments.
In a video that swiftly gained popularity on social media, Rishabh Pant could be seen playing with assurance in a local tournament in Bengaluru. According to the most recent official report from the BCCI, which was issued on July 21, Pant has begun to bat and keep at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru, where he had been receiving his rehabilitation. But Pant didn’t enter the cricket field to bat for more than eight months before doing so this time.

Indian supporters, who hope to see the Men in Blue win the upcoming World Cup and the Asia Cup, would be thrilled with Rishabh Pant’s immaculate batting.
The keeper-batter has made significant progress in recent months and has recovered quickly despite continued therapy.
For three Twenty20 Internationals, the Indian side will play Ireland. Notably, Jasprit Bumrah will captain the team as he makes his long-awaited comeback to international cricket. The pacer will be in charge of an Indian squad that is considered to be second-string. As they prepare for the Asia Cup 2023, which starts on August 30, the senior players have been given a brief rest. With regard to the Ireland T20Is, the series will be important for each player as they look to earn a berth in India’s World Cup roster.
