News about Rishabh Pant

Curran, India's most expensive cricketer, won the man-of-the-match awards with 63 off 47 balls, the first half-century of the competition against Delhi Capitals. During a stand of 67 in seven overs with Livingstone, who's third six wicket chases of 175, the bulk of Surrey all-rounder's runs were scored.

Pant, a wicketkeeper for India, was involved in a near-fatal car accident in December 2022 that required him to underwent multiple surgeries and kept him out of the 50-overs World Cup on home soil last year. Pant's Mercedes SUV north of New Delhi rammed into a roadblock, flipped over and caught fire. He sustained several injuries, including a fractured ligament in his right knee, wrist and ankle, and back abrasions. Since being in intensive rehabilitation, he has been in constant pain.

Because the teenage leg-spinner is returning home due to a pressing family matter, England will be without Rehan Ahmed for the remainder of their tour of India. The 19-year-old played in the first three Tests but was left out of the penultimate match in Ranchi after England selected slow left-armer Tom Hartley and off-break bowler Shoaib Bashir as their spinners. Despite being left with 14 players for the final Test in Dharamshala in a fortnight and two frontline spinners in Hartley and Bashir, the tourists do not want to draft in a replacement for Ahmed.

At the Indian Premier League 2024 player mini auction, England batter Harry Brook has been sold by the Delhi Capitals for four crore rupees (roughly £380,000). The 24-year-old began his IPL season with Sunrisers Hyderabad but will now relocate to Delhi, becoming the second player to be auctioned behind West Indies batter Rovman Powell. In the 2023 season, the Sunrisers paid over £1.3 million for Brook, but he only scored 190 runs in 11 games.

Rishabh Pant, an Indian cricketer, would be airlifted to Mumbai for surgery, nearly a week after suffering multiple injuries in a road accident. Before dawn on Friday, the national team wicketkeeper-batsman was driving his Mercedes SUV from New Delhi to Roorkee, just a few hours north of the Indian capital, when it crashed before dawn and caught fire straight away. On the highway, the 25-year-old was rescued by a bus driver and conductor and rushed to a local hospital for medical care before being moved to a Dehradun-based advanced hospital.

According to police, the wicketkeeper-batsman (left after the accident, inset center), who was alone in the car when it crashed in Uttarakhand's northern state, had lost control of the vehicle when he 'dozed off'. According to investigators, the vehicle flipped over twice and burst into fire, while photographs taken in the aftermath of the accident (inset right) showed the twisted and charred remains of the vehicle. The cricketer was covered in blood and being assisted by locals as the vehicle lay ablaze in the middle of the road (right). Pant, 25, is one of the Indian Premier League's top-five players who was part of the India test squad that secured a 2-0 series victory over Bangladesh earlier this month.

TREVOR BAYLISS: India has five or six batters of the highest quality, and Virat Kohli, who is back to his best, is the most dangerous of all. I was surprised that Rishabh Pant was not playing in the early stages, but he returned against Zimbabwe and I'm sure he'll be there against England on Thursday. Suryakumar Yadav is getting a lot of buzz, but he has been in the India team for a few years and has established himself as a true star in the IPL. It's not like he appears overnight. There is no doubt he is a good player and has a wealth of experience at 32. When I first met Kolkata, he was with us as a young bloke, in and out of the game, but that flick over backward square leg for six was his go-to shot then. He has become a lot more confident in other shootings now and has established himself as a world-class white-ball specialist.

NASSER HUSSAIN: India plays more Twenty20 cricket than on any other team because of the IPL and is extremely versatile and experienced in this style of the game. In what would be a highly awaited semi-final here in Adelaide on Thursday, they pose a major threat to England. However, there is no doubt that they are under more pressure than they are on the other team in the game. They can go from hero to zero so quickly due to their fanatical help. At the moment, India is riding high and most people are rated as favorites for this World Cup, but if one of them slips up all the surrounding noise could become very loud. If you believe England is under pressure, then multiply it by a million with India.

Exclusive INTERVIEW BY RICHARD GIBSON: Edgbaston's post-match revelions were a few drinks down when Jack Leach came out with the line that best sums up England's nimble new approach to Test cricket. Rival teams may have been more effective, according to a delirious staff room, but none will be braver after being converted from a record run chase of 378 to a seven-wicket cruise in defeating India. 'It was the realization from me that India played a lot of the cricket in that tournament.' For three days, we had been outplayed,
