Ahead of the World Test Championship final between India and New Zealand, wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant took a trip down memory lane as he looked back at his Instagram memories. In a video shared by the International Cricket Council, Pant "relived the story behind the photos". One of the prominent fixtures among the pictures was former India captain MS Dhoni. In one of the pictures, Pant can be seen with birthday boy Dhoni next to him, his face painted with a healthy helping of what one would assume is cake from the celebrations.
