Rishabh Pant recently made waves on social media with his appearance in a video by popular content creator Tanmay Bhat. The 26-year-old was shown responding to various cricket-related memes, but there was one particular meme that made the Delhi Capitals man go LOL. The meme featured was about his teammate Mohammed Siraj, who, in his early days, posted a video confirming his official social media ID.

For some reason, this video became a viral meme across social media, and Pant couldn’t help but laugh heartily at the long-standing meme.

Since his return to cricket after his accident, he has played a crucial role in leading Team India to victory in the T20 World Cup 2024 in the USA/West Indies. Recently, after his ODI comeback against Sri Lanka, he was named in Team India’s squad for the first Test against Bangladesh in Chennai, marking his return to the Test team since December 2022.

The 26-year-old had a solid performance in India B’s opening match against India A in the Duleep Trophy 2024. In the second innings, he played a brisk knock of 61 off 47 balls, which helped his team build their lead. They eventually won the match, securing six points to add to their total.

It remains to be seen whether he will be immediately included in the starting eleven or if Team India will choose to gradually reintroduce him to the longest format.

The Rohit Sharma-led team will kick off their home summer with a two-match series against Bangladesh in Chennai and Kanpur. This will be followed by a three-match series against New Zealand on home ground. The major highlight of the Test summer will be India's tour of Australia for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, where Pant played a memorable innings to assist in retaining the title on Australian soil.
