Rishabh Pant had a terrible return in red-ball cricket when India B were in action in the first innings against India A in Match 1 of the Duleep Trophy 2024 at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. However, he came back strongly in the second innings, and in the process, he raced to a memorable half-century in just 34 balls.

Rishabh Pant Takes The Attack To Kuldeep Yadav

More significantly, Pant smashed an effortless six against Kuldeep Yadav, with whom he had shared a laugh earlier in the match. Notably, both Kuldeep and Pant play for Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League (IPL).

It was the third ball of the 21st over of India B's second innings when Kuldeep Yadav bowled a flighted legbreak to Pant. The southpaw came down the track, and launched the left-arm wrist spinner down the ground in a nonchalant manner.
