Star Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant celebrated his 27th birthday on Friday, October 4, with a wave of heartfelt wishes from the cricketing community and fans alike. Recently, Pant made headlines for his outstanding performance in the two-match Test series against Bangladesh, where he played a crucial role in leading India to a clean sweep, marking his return to red-ball cricket after a lengthy hiatus due to a severe car accident in December 2022.
Pant’s journey back to the pitch has been nothing short of inspirational. Often hailed for his fighting spirit, he returned to the sport after being sidelined for over 600 days, making his comeback one of the most significant stories in Indian cricket history, reminiscent of the legendary Yuvraj Singh’s comeback following his battle with cancer.

In addition to Yuvraj, Pant’s IPL franchise, Delhi Capitals (DC), paid tribute to him with a special birthday video designed in a comic book style. Other franchises, including Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK), joined in the celebrations by sharing humorous ‘spidey’ memes, highlighting Pant’s lively personality behind the stumps.
