In June 2024, India won the T20 World Cup after a 17-year drought, with Rishabh Pant playing a crucial role in the victory. Despite starting the tournament well, Pant’s performance dwindled as the matches progressed. He was subsequently dropped from the white-ball teams and has since focused solely on Test cricket, where he has excelled. Pant’s limited-overs statistics are average at best, leading to his exclusion from India’s white-ball plans. Despite his struggles in international cricket, Pant remains a sought-after player in the IPL, where he was signed by Lucknow Super Giants for a record amount. However, his stint with the team has been marked by poor performances, culminating in a recent injury that has put his availability for future matches in doubt. Pant’s resilience will be tested as he navigates through this challenging phase in his cricketing career.
