“Seems like you forgot. Let me remind you… Remember when it was hard and it was overwhelming and you felt afraid and still walked alone? You didn’t have the answers then and couldn’t see the way and wanted to give up? You still kept going. Never forget that,” expressed Pant in the caption, motivating his followers.

Having last played for India in December 2022 during the second Test against Bangladesh in Mirpur, Pant’s absence has been keenly felt, especially in Test matches where his dynamic style of play has a significant impact. His aggressive approach, particularly on turning pitches, is sorely missed as it often unsettles spinners.
The wicketkeeper-batsman sat out two major ICC events, the World Test Championship 2023 final and the ODI World Cup 2023. Looking ahead, with the T20 World Cup 2024 scheduled to commence on June 1 in the West Indies and the USA, Pant is eager to regain match fitness and represent India in the T20 extravaganza.
