Rishabh Pant returned to action after what looked like a career-ending situation after being in a horrific car accident in December 2022. The Stumper was away from action for over a year as he recovered from the injuries he sustained. He substantially made a full recovery and returned to action in the IPL 2024 season and scored 446 runs in 13 match-ups.

Pant found his way back to the national side and made a formidable impact as Team India went on to win the T20 World Cup 2024. Not just white-ball, but Rishabh returned to action in Domestics and Test cricket when he took part in the Duleep trophy tournament. Pant made his red-ball comeback against Bangladesh as was a reliable man behind the wickets. The year 2024 will be the one to remember for the star cricketer.
