Rishabh Pant’s cryptic post ahead of the match against Bangladesh: Champions Trophy 2025 started from 19 February and the first match of the tournament was played between Pakistan and New Zealand. However, Indian fans were waiting for 20 February, because today Team India will play its first match.
Rishabh Pant’s: India will play its match at Dubai International Stadium in UAE (Dubai) and its first match is against Bangladesh. Before India’s first match in Group A, there were reports of differences in the team and now a cryptic post by wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant has fueled these reports. Pant has not said anything directly but in gestures, he has said that maybe everything is not right.
Rishabh Pant’s: Times Now Report Claimed
Rishabh Pant’s: In fact, recently a Times Now report claimed that a top Indian player is not happy with head coach Gautam Gambhir. He has expressed displeasure over why he is not being given a chance as the first choice as a wicketkeeper-batsman in Team India’s playing 11. If we look at the current situation, this player seems to be none other than Rishabh Pant because he has not been getting opportunities in ODIs for some time and KL Rahul is being given priority.
Rishabh Pant Shared A Cryptic Instagram Story
Rishabh Pant’s: Rishabh Pant, who had once cemented his place in all three formats of the Indian team, is now seen regularly only in Tests, while his place in the other two formats is not yet considered certain. Something similar is also being seen in the Champions Trophy 2025.
Meanwhile, before the match against Bangladesh, Rishabh shared a story from his official account on the social media platform Instagram on the night of February 19, in which this player tried to say something in gestures. Pant shared the post on the motivate2mind Instagram page, in which a quote was written in English. Its meaning in Hindi is that whether you are tired, scared, broken, or alone, keep chasing your goal. Just don’t give up.
Rishabh Pant Was Not Played In A Single Match
It is worth noting that Rishabh Pant was not played in a single match in the three-match ODI series against England. Rohit Sharma made many changes in the last ODI but still Pant could not find a place in the playing 11. This clearly shows that Pant is not being seen from the point of view of being included in the playing 11 from the beginning of the Champions Trophy 2025.
