[Watch] Rishabh Pant poses for selfies at airport ahead of the 2024 T20 World Cup

Team India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant was recently spotted posing for selfies with fans while coming out of an airport. He will return to international cricket during the 2024 T20 World Cup in the West Indies and the USA, starting June 1.

Pant was last seen in action when he led the Delhi Capitals (DC) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. He returned to action after almost 14 months as he was involved in a tragic car accident on December 30, 2022. The southpaw had an excellent season with the bat, aggregating 446 runs in 13 games at an average of 40.55 and a strike rate of 155.40.

However, he couldn't steer his side to the playoffs, as DC finished sixth in the table with 14 points from as many games.

Days after Delhi crashed out of IPL 2024, Pant was spotted coming out of an airport in a video shared by Viral Bhayani on Instagram. The celebrated cricketer was also seen posing for selfies with fans.
