Rishabh Pant engages in gully cricket ahead of India vs New Zealand Test series

After over twenty months, Rishabh Pant returned to the Indian Test team with a great impression. He achieved his sixth Test century in the first against Bangladesh , demonstrating his extraordinary ability.

Pant was seen on October 11 engaging in a vibrant gully cricket game among other supporters. On social media, he posted a video of the occasion in which he was seen explaining the rules of the game to other participants.

Pant displayed his trademark elegance throughout the play, and amazed everyone with his reverse sweep of creative shots. He also proved his bowling ability, with his amazing one-handed spin confusing batters. Pant's light-hearted chat throughout the game revealed his lively disposition.

He made a funny remark to wrap out the video, remembering the carefree days of gully cricket. Rishabh Pant , during the video posted on his X, said: 

“Main batsman hoo na batting le ke ghar chala jaata hoo! (As the batter, I'll finish hitting and then run home.)

Returning to the Indian Test squad remarkably, Rishabh Pant scored his sixth century during the first Test against Bangladesh at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. Including 13 fours and four sixes, he put an outstanding 109 runs off 128 balls.

With an outstanding 93 at Mirpur, his final Test before the terrible vehicle accident in December 2022 also against Bangladesh . Pant displayed his traditional approach in this most recent game, hitting great strokes including a one-handed six and showing great footwork and balance against spinners.

India won the first Test with an amazing performance, then followed up with a seven-wicket triumph in the second Test despite rain-related delays. Pant is keen to maintain his momentum in the next three-match Test series against New Zealand beginning October 17, then go to Australia in November for a vital five-match series.

Pant was instrumental in India's last Test series victory in Australia; he scored an undefeated 89 in the fourth Test at the Gabba, Brisbane, enabling India to effectively target 329, therefore winning the series 2-1. He is anticipated to perform that powerfully in the next games.
