Rishabh Pant
Rishabh Rajendra Pant (Hindi: [ɾɪˈʂʌbʰ ɾaː'dʒeːd̪ɾə pʌnt̪]; born 4 October 1997) is an Indian international cricketer who plays for the Indian national team as a wicket-keeper batter. He captains the Lucknow Super Giants in the Indian Premier League and Delhi in domestic cricket.
Pant became the most expensive player in the history of the Indian Premier League when he was bought for ₹27.00 crore (US$2.8 million) by the Lucknow Super Giants in the 2025 league auction. He was a member of the Indian team that won the 2024 T20 World Cup and 2025 Champions Trophy. He was the vice-captain of the India U19 team that was runner-up at the 2016 U19 Cricket World Cup.
He made his T20I debut for India in January 2017, his Test debut in August 2018, and his ODI debut in October 2018. In January 2019, Pant was named the ICC Men's Emerging Cricketer of the Year at the 2018 ICC Awards. In February 2021, Pant became the first player to be named ICC Men's Player of the Month (for January).
In June 2022, Pant was named as the Indian captain for the T20I series against South Africa, after the designated captain KL Rahul was ruled out of the series due to an injury.
Pant was born on 4 October 1997 in Haridwar, Uttarakhand, India to Rajendra Pant and Saroj Pant, and hails from a Kumaoni family. He also has an elder sister, Sakshi Pant. At the age of 12, Pant would travel with his mother to Delhi during the weekends to train with Tarak Sinha at the Sonnet Cricket Academy. He and his mother stayed at a Gurdwara in Moti Bagh as they did not have suitable accommodation in the city.
Sinha suggested Pant switch to Rajasthan to play U-13 and U-15 cricket but to no avail. Pant was instructed by his mentor to overhaul his entire batting technique in the hopes of becoming a better batsman. His turning point came when he was playing U-19 cricket for Delhi against Assam. Pant had top-scored with 35 in his first innings and then hit 150 in the second innings, which he claims was the most important knock in his career.
On 1 February 2016, during the 2016 Under-19 Cricket World Cup, Pant hit an 18-ball fifty against Nepal, the fastest at this level.
Pant's father died on 6 April 2017, due to a cardiac arrest.
