Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant has already seen a fair amount of ups and downs in his career thus far. The left-handed hitter had an excellent tour away from home in Australia in 2018, when he went on to hammer a ton of quick fire in the fourth test. Despite a series of excellent performances leading up to the World Cup last year, the young man was not included on the team for the tournament. But an injury to Shikhar Dhawan and Vijay Shankar led Pant to be called up to the team, although it could not have an impact on the tournament.
The young Delhi hitter also struggled to find runs and was often met with criticism for his wicket keeping skills last year, and in early 2020, KL Rahul replaced him as the team goalkeeper for the limited series against New Zealand.

Despite the career graph, Pant is still considered to be one of the best talents present in the country at the moment, and many suggest he could be a match winner for the team someday. In an Instagram live video for Delhi Capitals, Pant revealed the advice given to him by BCCI President Sourav Ganguly, who was the mentor for the DC franchise in the 2018 season.
“He said‘ You need to give yourself a little time and then you can do whatever you want, “said the 21-year-old. He always wanted me to be fine. He told me some things and I also tried them. It helped, ”he added.
