India’s ace wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant appears to have found his touch just in time for India’s Test series against England. Following a mostly dismal IPL 2025 campaign, Pant capped off the season with an outstanding century in the last match for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). Now, in a net session prior to the tour of England, Pant stole the spotlight by hitting a giant six off Washington Sundar delivery onto the roof of the training complex apparently damaging some infrastructure in the process.
