NEW DELHI: The decision to choose Rishabh Pant over KL Rahul as the first-choice wicketkeeper-batsman for India’s T20 World Cup squad raised many eyebrows. However, it became clear that it was the right choice as India emerged undefeated champions.

In the end, Pant emerged as a T20 World Cup winner, showcasing his resilience and talent on the world stage.
On Wednesday, Pant took to social media to share a heartwarming post, along with a video documenting his journey from a life-threatening accident to lifting the coveted T20 World Cup title. “Blessed, Humbled & Grateful. God has its own plan,” Pant said.
