Rishabh Pant is set to miss India's upcoming white-ball tour of Australia due to his foot injury. However, much to the delight of his fans, the swashbuckling batter has commenced training for his comeback.

LSG posted a video on X, giving fans a glimpse of Pant's recent practice session. The southpaw was seen hitting the nets and working hard for his return. You can watch the clip below:

Notably, Pant looked in stunning form with the bat before getting injured in the Test series against England. He struck two centuries and three fifties, ultimately finishing with 479 runs across seven innings at a fantastic average of 68.42.

The five-match Test series ended in a draw, with the scoreline reading 2-2. It is worth mentioning that Pant was also the designated vice-captain for the tour.
