The entire India is enjoying the thrilling ODI series between India and South Africa, and the upcoming Vijay Hazare Trophy is coming back with immense excitement. With reports hinting at Virat Kohli’s return to domestic action, another Indian star is also expected to join the tournament, adding even more spark to the buildup.

As per the reports, Rishabh Pant is set to feature in the upcoming VHT season, donning Delhi’s jersey. The moment the report came out, fans lit up with excitement over his long-awaited comeback.

Rishabh Pant set to shine again in Delhi colors

After MS Dhoni, Team India found a reliable wicketkeeper-batter in Rishabh Pant as the Delhi star stunned the world with his power-hitting style. Across the format, Pant showcased his talent and became a next-generation star of Indian cricket. As another edition of the Vijay Hazare Trophy, the domestic 50-over tournament, is coming soon, Delhi is likely to have a major surprise for fans.

After Virat Kohli’s potential return in Delhi colors in the upcoming Vijay Hazare Trophy sent the excitement to a whole different level, another star Indian player is set to follow in his footsteps. According to recent reports, Rishabh Pant also confirmed his availability for the upcoming season of the tournament.

Pant’s journey started in Delhi, and he shaped himself as a star with time. Representing the stage, he made his Vijay Hazare debut in 2015 against Jharkhand in the second quarterfinals. Now, years later, he’s set to return to the very stage where it all began, sending fans buzzing with excitement.

Pant to make a triumphant return to 50-over cricket

In recent times, Rishabh Pant dazzled in the longer format, but his presence in the 50-over format is still awaited. Playing his last ODI in the last year against Sri Lanka in the 50-over format, the wicketkeeper-batter was seen out of India’s ODI plan. Despite being in India’s squad for the Champions Trophy, he warmed the bench.

After missing out on the white-ball series against Australia, he is back in the ODI squad against South Africa, but is still warming up the bench, as KL Rahul is playing the wicketkeeper’s role. But with a return to the Vijay Hazare Trophy, Pant is all set to dazzle once again in 50-over cricket.
