In India’s sole T20 World Cup 2024 warm-up match against Bangladesh in New York, the dynamic wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant showcased his prowess with a blistering 32-ball half-century. Representing India for the first time since a harrowing car accident in December 2022, Pant`s return to the international stage was nothing short of spectacular.

The left-handed maestro, batting at No. 3, announced his arrival with authority, peppering the boundaries with a flurry of strokes. His innings was highlighted by a boundary at long-on off the bowling of Shakib Al Hasan, which propelled him to his fifty before he was retired out.
