Rishabh Pant enjoyed his long break in Birmingham with Mom and Sister
Birmingham – After smashing centuries in both innings of the first Test against England at Leeds, Rishabh Pant set a new record as an Indian wicketkeeper-batsman. However, despite his stellar performance, India ended up losing the match, leaving both Pant and Team India disappointed. But now, ahead of the second Test match, the team has a seven-day break — and Pant made the most of it by spending precious time with his family.
The second Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series between India and England is scheduled for Wednesday, July 2, at Edgbaston, starting at 3:30 PM IST. England currently leads the five-match series 1-0.
During this break, Rishabh Pant reunited with his mother Saroj Pant and sister Sakshi in Birmingham. The trio visited popular city landmarks, dined together, and shared some special moments — even posing for a few pictures for social media.
