When does Pant play next?
Rishabh Pant has had an amazing 2024 on the cricket field. Not only did he recover from his horror accident, he piled up 446 runs in IPL 2024 and then won the T20 World Cup 2024 as India's first-choice wicket-keeper batsman.
Despite not having the best of games during India's tour to Sri Lanka, Pant is still India's leading wicket-keeper batsman candidate across formats. He is expected to play a big role as India host New Zealand and then tour Australia for Tests later in the year.
Pant is going to be one of several Indian stars to play in the Duleep Trophy 2024, which will begin on September 5. Pant was named in India B, alongside India teammates Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ravindra Jadeja, Sarfaraz Khan, Washington Sundar, Mohammed Siraj, and Mukesh Kumar.
