Moreover, before the Indian cricket team left for the tour to Sri Lanka, the newly appointed head coach, Gautam Gambhir, and the chief selector, Ajit Agarkar, were part of a press conference in Mumbai. When Ajit Agarkar was asked about Rishabh Pant’s triumphant return from life-threatening injuries, he said, “Rishabh (Pant) has been out for a long time. So we want to bring him back without burdening him. Someone who has come back after a long time, you need to bring them back in the scheme of things gradually.”
Notably, Rishabh Pant is part of the ODI and T20I squads for India’s tour to Sri Lanka, which begins on July 27.
