Rishabh Pant Shines as India's Vice-Captain During England Tour

India's Preparations for the England Test Series

The Indian cricket team is currently on a tour of England, where they are set to compete in a five-match Test series. Ahead of the series, the team has been focusing on their preparations. Rishabh Pant has been entrusted with a significant role as he has been appointed as the vice-captain of the Test squad. Upon arriving in England, the team immediately commenced their practice sessions, and Pant made headlines with a remarkable six that reportedly broke the stadium roof. This impressive shot has gone viral on social media.

Rishabh Pant's Practice Session Highlights

Pant has been practicing alongside the entire team in England. During a net session, he executed such a powerful shot that it astonished both his teammates and the bowlers present. The impact of his shot was so intense that it left everyone in disbelief.

Reflecting on IPL 2025 Performance

The 18th season of the IPL was not particularly favorable for Rishabh Pant. Despite being the most expensive player of IPL 2025, he struggled to deliver the expected performance. Throughout the season, he could not accumulate runs or lead his team to the playoffs. In 14 matches, Pant managed to score only 269 runs at an average of 24.45.

Signs of Form Recovery

Among Pant's 269 runs, he recorded one century and one half-century. Notably, his century came in the final league match, leading to speculation that after a disappointing IPL season, Pant may be regaining his form.
