India clean swept West Indies 3-0 in the three-match T20 series which was played in Florida and Guyana. In the last match of this series- Rishabh Pant, surpassed the record of MS Dhoni and became the highest individual run scoring wicket-keeper batsman for India. Now in the one-day series after T20, Pant is handling the responsibility of the team’s wicketkeeper in the absence of Mahi.
Even though Team India had a spectacular win on Monday morning in the second ODI match against West Indies, but this match was also influenced by rain and was cut short to 46 overs in the second innings. It was raining continuously before the match, after which the players did indoor practice, while the team’s wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant found a unique way of practice. He started practicing in the Corridor of the hotel itself. Rishabh Pant shared the video of his practice on his Instagram account.
In the video, it is seen that Kuldeep Yadav is throwing the ball to him and Pant is practicing wicketkeeping. The most striking comment in the video was of his girlfriend Isha Negi, who wrote “Miss You”. Isha is the same girl whose picture was posted by Rishabh on Instagram on the night of 16 January 2019, captioning, “I just want to make you happy because you are the reason I am so happy,”
Isha Negi is an Entrepreneur and Interior Decor Designer and is currently pursuing literature from Amity University. Like Pant, she is also a native of Uttarakhand.
