‘Us hisab se ye sirf 5 mahine ka hai’ – Fans puzzled as Rishabh Pant changes his Insta bio to add his second birth date

Star Indian wicketkeeper batter Rishabh Pant has confused his fans after he recently changed his bio on his Instagram account. In the bio, he mentioned his second birth date as January 5th, 2023. He wrote, “INDIA, Second DOB:- 05/01/23” on his Insta bio that put several questions in the mind of his fans.

However, the date in the bio may also indicate Pant’s comeback from the accident. Notably, the 25-year-old met with a horrific car accident in December 2022, which made him rule out of cricketing action. Pant went on to miss the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and then the entire season of IPL 2023. He had to undergo a ligament surgery and after that, he is residing at the NCA and working his way to recover fully to make a comeback in competitive cricket.

Rishabh Pant is likely to make a comeback ahead of the ODI World Cup!

Now, there are reports that the wicketkeeper is likely to make a sensational comeback in the Indian squad ahead of the 2023 ODI World Cup in India later in the year. He is sharing regular updates about his recovery on his social media and hopes to be back in cricketing action ahead of the Marquee event.

According to the reports by ESPN Cricinfo, the Indian Cricket Board is trying to get Pant fully fit before the World Cup in India. However, the wicketkeeper batter is recovering faster than expected which has surprised both Indian Cricket Board and NCA staff. Earlier, he was expected to miss the entire 2023 due to injury, but now it is looking like he will be seen playing for India in the big tournament.

Pant is working on elevating his lower-body and upper-body mobility exercises under the guidance of physio S Rajnikanth, who has collaborated with multiple Indian age-group teams in the past. Rajnikant has also worked with Delhi Capitals and has guided players like Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah and M Vijay when they were undergoing rehabilitation. Along with him, Thulasi Ram Yuvaraj, who is a physio at the NCA, is also monitoring the recovery of the Indian batter after he was airlifted to Mumbai.
