India’s vice-captain Rishabh Pant made an appearance at Wimbledon 2025 on Monday, July 7, sporting a sharp formal suit. The 27-year-old had recently featured in the second Test of the ongoing five-match series against England at Edgbaston, which concluded on July 6.
Just a day after the Test, Pant was spotted at the All England Club, attending the prestigious tennis tournament. Wimbledon’s official Instagram handle shared a photo of the Indian wicketkeeper-batter from the venue, capturing his off-field presence with the caption:
“Welcome to #Wimbledon, @rishabpant 👋🏏.”
Talking of the second Test, the visitors piled up a massive 587 in their first innings after being invited to bat, with skipper Shubman Gill leading from the front with a magnificent 269. In reply, the hosts were bowled out for 407, despite fighting centuries from Harry Brook (158) and Jamie Smith (184*). Mohammed Siraj was the pick of the bowlers for India, finishing with figures of 6/70.
In their second innings, India declared at 427/6, with Gill once again impressing with a brilliant 161. England were set a daunting target of 608, but their chase fell apart as they were dismissed for 271. India clinched a commanding 336-run win to level the series 1-1. Akash Deep starred in the fourth innings with the ball, claiming 6/99.
