One of the most loved cricketers worldwide, Rishabh Pant, has captured hearts once again with a heartwarming gesture outside a mall in Adelaide. While in Australia for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, Pant took a break from his busy schedule and spent time with a young fan.
A viral video circulating on social media shows the 27-year-old wicketkeeper-batter with a little girl on his lap, sharing a wholesome moment that has melted fans’ hearts. Watch the video here:
Pant, who gained immense popularity in Australia following his remarkable performances in 2019 and 2021, particularly his heroic innings in Brisbane, continues to be a fan favorite. Pant, known for his bold cricketing style and banter, has a solid fan base in Australia.
Despite his past success, his performance in the ongoing series has been modest, scoring 87 runs from four innings at an average of 21.75. With India and Australia tied at 1-1 in the series, Pant hopes to rekindle his magic when the action shifts to the Gabba for the third Test. Fans are excited to see if he can replicate his historic heroics from 2021 in Brisbane.
