Rishabh Pant is currently out of action and is likely to stay out of action for the next 6-8 months in the process of recovery from the car accident. However, not only his batting, but his chirpy nature behind the stumps too was missed by fans during the 2nd Test of the Border Gavaskar Trophy.
Legendary Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar, while missing the chirpy nature of Rishabh Pant behind the stumps, shared an emotional message for him in the commentary box during Australia’s second innings.
“Australia are lucky that Rishabh Pant is not there. He would have had a fair bit to say, not necessarily to the batters but certainly to his teammates. Rishabh if you are listening, we are missing you, get well soon,” Gavaskar said.
Pant’s remarkable numbers were flashed on-air multiple times when India were tottering at 139 for 7 at one stage. His absence has left a void which will take some time to be filled.
