Rishabh Rajendra Pant (Hindi: [ɾɪˈʂʌbʰ ɾaːdʒeːd̪ɾə pʌnt̪]; born 4 October 1997) is an Indian international cricketer who plays for the Indian cricket team as a wicket-keeper batter. Having played all formats for India, he is best known for his consistency to score runs in Test cricket. Pant plays for Delhi in domestic cricket and captained Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League from 2021 to 2022 and again since 2024.[3] He was a member of the Indian team that won the 2024 T20 World Cup. He was the vice-captain of the India U-19 team that was runner-up at the 2016 Under-19 Cricket World Cup.[4]
He made his Twenty20 International (T20I) debut for India in January 2017, his Test debut in August 2018, and his One Day International (ODI) debut in October 2018. In January 2019, Pant was named the ICC Men's Emerging Cricketer of the Year at the 2018 ICC Awards.[5] In February 2021, Pant was named the Men's Player of the Month in the first edition of the ICC Player of the Month Awards.[6]
In June 2022, Pant was named as the Indian captain for the T20I series against South Africa, after the designated captain KL Rahul was ruled out of the series due to an injury.[7]
