DoggfatherRishabh Pant Takes a Hit in Vadodara Before ODI Showdown
Yo, listen up! Rishabh Pant, the Indian wicketkeeper-g, caught a nasty delivery just above the waist during a chill batting sesh in Vadodara on Saturday. His crew, including coach Gambhir, rushed to check on him as he limped off the BCA B ground, lookin' like he just lost a round. Pant's been honing that forward defense, but now he’s gotta bounce back for the ODI showdown.
