Rishabh Pant celebrated his 25th birthday today. He is an Indian wicket-keeper batsman. The young man used to travel to several cities in his early years in an effort to imagine a cricket career. He once had to travel to Rajasthan from Delhi after leaving Roorkee, Uttarakhand. At the beginning of his career, he was even expelled from his academy, and there were instances when he was forced to spend days in the Delhi Gurudwara since he had nowhere to stay.

But his talent was always there, and he continued to get better at batting. Finally, Pant was selected for India's Under-19 team to compete in the World Cup in Bangladesh. He made the world take notice of his ability at this point. He contributed to India's qualification for the semifinals by scoring a century against Namibia after smashing a record-breaking half-century against Nepal.

Even though he was listed with a base price of Rs 10 lakh, this century occurred on the day that he was selected by the Delhi Daredevils for Rs 1.9 crore. Pant swiftly advanced through the ranks after making his Ranji Trophy debut at the age of 18 in 2015; nevertheless, it wasn't until the 2016–17 season that his career took a turn for the better. He scored three centuries against Maharashtra and another one in 48 balls against Jharkhand.

He was selected for India's T20I team for the series against England and made his series debut in Bangalore's third game, where he finished the game unbeaten on 5 runs. Pant has overcome his early difficulties in the Indian team to become an integral part of the team in all three formats.
