New Delhi. Rishabh Pant, who was seriously injured in a car accident and returned after missing an entire season in the Indian Premier League, has shown a stellar performance. After being a victim of an accident in 2022, he remained away from the cricket field for more than a year. This time he once again returned to IPL as captain and wicketkeeper. The selectors are keeping an eye on his performance. Before the ICC T20 World Cup, his game has increased the problems of other wicketkeepers.
Rishabh Pant has impressed a lot since joining Delhi Capitals this season. In the third consecutive match, a sharp innings was seen from his bat. The team registered victory after facing defeat in two matches. Before the ICC World Cup, everyone’s attention was focused on the performance of Rishabh Pant. He has batted in his old colors in the tournament. His performance behind the wicket was exactly the same as it was before getting injured in the car accident.
You will be stunned to see the six
Rishabh Pant is known for his fast innings. In the Test match, he has hit a fast bowler like England’s great James Anderson for sixes like a spinner behind the wicket. This season he has scored 28 runs in one over of Venkatesh Iyer. The six hit behind the wicket with one hand by Marcus Stoinis against Lucknow Super Giants is going viral. Whoever saw this video kept watching.

Path clear for World Cup selection
Rishabh Pant has removed whatever obstacles stood in the way of selection for the ICC T20 World Cup this year. When he underwent knee surgery after a car accident, everyone was doubtful about his comeback. Pant not only regained fitness ahead of time but also made a tremendous comeback. Now he is looking brilliant behind the wicket and is seen hitting big shots in front of the wicket as well. In the eyes of the selectors, he is the first choice and the veterans are also considering Rishabh Pant as a contender for the World Cup.
