India’s World Cup campaign will begin against Ireland on June 5th at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium.
India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant is set to make a remarkable comeback to the national team after a 15-month hiatus. The BCCI announced the 15-member squad for the T20 World Cup 2024, with Pant’s name among the chosen players. His return marks an extraordinary recovery after his near-fatal car accident in December 2022, which sidelined him for over a year, keeping him out of the last IPL season and the 50-overs World Cup.
Despite the setbacks, Pant’s performance in IPL 2024 has been stellar, proving his mettle and leadership capabilities. As the captain of Delhi Capitals, Pant led the relatively inexperienced team to five fighting wins, thanks to his consistency with the bat. Pant’s 371 runs, achieved at a striking average of 46.38 and an astonishing strike rate of 160.61, have been a key factor in DC’s success this season.
