In a heartwarming moment on Sunday, September 8, during the Duleep Trophy 2024 match at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, India B wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant joined the opposition team’s huddle before the start of play on Day 4th. This marked Pant’s return to red-ball cricket after over 20 months of absence.
Rishabh Pant, who is representing India B in the tournament, joined the India A team’s huddle led by captain Shubman Gill as they discussed their game plans and strategies. After participating in the huddle, Pant was seen sharing a light moment with pacer Avesh Khan before heading back to the pavilion.

The BCCI’s domestic cricket X (formerly Twitter) account shared a video of the moment, highlighting Rishabh Pant’s friendly and sportsmanlike gesture.
Pant, who had scored a commanding 61 in the second innings, is in solid form, which bodes well for India ahead of their packed Test season featuring 10 red-ball games. His presence in the upcoming matches is expected to provide a significant boost to India’s batting line-up.
