Rishabh Pant hit the headlines on 28 June as he updated his Instagram bio in a unique way. He wrote: ‘Second D.O.B:- 05/01/23’. It seemed that Pant wanted to point out the date when he finally got out of scared of the horrible road accident. The accident took place on 31 December 2022.
Seeing that, fans shared their views on social media. Recently, many videos and images went viral where Pant was seen walking on stairs. Even, he was seen reuniting with his Team India teammates, KL Rahul, Shardul Thakur, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Mohammed Siraj at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru.

“Ideally, in the top six, I would like to see two left-handers.” - Ravi Shastri
As per recent reports, it is most unlikely to see Pant in action for the Men in Blue in the upcoming 2023 ODI World Cup in India. He missed the IPL 2023 for Delhi Capitals (DC) and missed the World Test Championship (WTC) final also against Australia. However, on 7 June, the fixture of that mega event got announced. India will look to win the trophy despite not having the services of Pant. Notable, in Pant’s absence, India will struggle to have any left-handed batter in their top batting order. Only Ravindra Jadeja is a left-handed batter available in the line-up.
Regarding that, the former Team India Coach, Ravi Shastri opened up in a conversation on The Week. He said: "You need to strike the right balance. Do you think a left-hander will make a difference at the top? It does not have to be opening, but in the top three or four. You have to weigh all those options. Ideally, in the top six, I would like to see two left-handers. You have Ishan Kishan. In the wicketkeeping department, you have Sanju
