India's dynamic wicketkeeper-batter, Rishabh Pant took to social media to pay tribute to his late coach, Tarak Sinha, on his death anniversary. Sinha, who passed away on November 6, 2021, was not only Pant's childhood coach but a mentor to many cricketers in Delhi.

Rishabh Pant Honours Coach Tarak Sinha’s Legacy

Running the well-known Sonnet Cricket Club, Sinha left a massive mark on the players he guided. Rishabh Pant shared how his coach’s wisdom and warmth still inspire him today. 

In an Instagram story, Pant posted, “It’s been three years since our sir Mr. Tarak Sinha left us, yet his presence feels as strong as ever. The time without him has stretched long, filled with memories of his wisdom, guidance, and the warmth he brought into our lives. His legacy continues to inspire and guide us. Thank you, sir.”

Pant also attached a throwback photo from their training days which brought back memories of his early years with Sinha.


Pant Rises in ICC Test Rankings

While remembering his coach, Pant is also celebrating a new career high. After a string of excellent performances in the recent Test series against New Zealand, he’s climbed up the ICC Batter’s Test rankings.

He led the series with 261 runs over three matches, averaging 43.50 with a strike rate of 89.38. His performances included a near-century with 99 in Bengaluru and half-centuries of 60 and 64 in Mumbai.

Courtesy of his sensational performance, Pant has catapulted five spots to reach sixth in the ICC Test batting rankings with a rating of 750. With the high-voltage Border-Gavaskar Trophy coming up, his form will be key as India takes on Australia.

Meanwhile, as Pant prepares for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy starting November 22 in Perth, his focus and determination, inspired by his coach's legacy, will be essential for India.
