Wicket Keeper
Left-hand Bat
-
Oct 04, 1997
A game-changer and the miracle man of Indian cricket, Rishabh Pant embodies the spirit of resilience, fearlessness, and courage. He is an inspiration to millions — not just for his audacious, match-winning knocks, but for his extraordinary determination in staging one of the most remarkable comebacks in sporting history after a life-threatening accident.
A promising talent from Delhi, Pant came into the limelight after his batting heroics for India Under-19 in the 2016 World Cup. A flamboyant left-handed wicketkeeper-batter, Pant caught everyone’s attention at the tournament with a blistering 24-ball 75 — the fastest half-century of the competition — against Nepal, followed by a century against Namibia. He finished as India’s second-highest run-getter in the tournament, with 267 runs from six matches.
A year after making his Ranji Trophy debut at the age of 18 years and 18 days in 2015, Pant broke records by scoring a triple hundred against Maharashtra and a blistering 48-ball hundred against Jharkhand in the 2016–17 first-class season. He became the fourth-youngest triple-centurion in first-class cricket at 19 years and 12 days.
In January 2017, he was rewarded with a call-up to India’s T20I squad for the three home matches against England. He made his ODI debut against the West Indies in the 2018 home series. Pant earned his Test cap on the 2018 England tour, scoring a fighting fourth-innings century (114 off 146) in a chase of 464. That innings laid down the marker, and since then, the southpaw has gone on to produce many memorable knocks in the longest format: 159* in Sydney (2019), 97 in Sydney (2021), 89* in Brisbane (2021), 100* in Cape Town (2022), 146 in Birmingham (2022), 93 in Mirpur (2022), and 118 at Leeds (2025). Remarkably, six of his eight Test hundreds have come away from home. In 2022, at the age of 24 years and 248 days, he became the second-youngest Indian to captain in T20Is when he led the team against South Africa in Delhi.
In the early hours of 30 December 2022, Pant met with a life-threatening accident near Roorkee that left both his career and life in jeopardy. But, true to his fighting spirit, he defied the odds and made a heroic return after 15 months, leading the Delhi Capitals in the 2024 IPL. In his first Test match after his comeback, he struck a century against Bangladesh in Chennai. His resilience was on display again during the England tour in 2025, when he batted with a broken foot in the Manchester Test to play a crucial role in helping India secure a draw.
The immensely talented left-handed batter has repeatedly stepped up when the situation has demanded it — in tough conditions and on challenging pitches. Widely regarded as India’s crisis man, he scores crucial runs and comes to the rescue whenever the team needs him most.
