Young Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant is once again in the headlines of social media for reasons out of the cricketing field. The 24-year-old is still struggling to secure a permanent place in the T20I team in India. Amidst all this, some of Rishabh Pant’s fans have said that the senior players of the team are ignoring him. The fans went on to name the players like Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya on the list.

Notably, the young lad is known for his jolly nature both on and off the field and a guy who always keeps joking with his fellow mates.
Rishabh Pant’s fans have recently shared a video in which former skipper and senior batter Virat Kohli and star all-rounder Hardik Pandya are ignoring him when he went up to have a conversation. Even at the time of the team photograph with the trophy, Pant could have been seen at the extreme left of the frame.
Fans found it disrespectful and they immediately took to Twitter for criticizing the behavior of the senior players with the player who has won a lot of crucial games for India in the other formats of the game.
Here’s how fans reacted:

Speaking about the recent performances of Rishabh Pant, then he had some poor outings in the Asia Cup 2022 with the bat. As India was knocked out of the tournament from the super-4 round, the management opted to pick the senior wicketkeeper-batter Dinesh Karthik over Rishabh Pant.
Dinesh Karthik played all three matches in the T20I series against Australia. It also comes up with a transliterated fact that the skipper and management might opt to drop Pant from the playing XI of their inaugural game in the 20-20 World Cup 2022 against the arch-rivals Pakistan.
Although, India is set to play the three-match T20I series against South Africa ahead of the eighth edition of the 20-20 World Cup. Star all-rounder Hardik Pandya has been given a rest from this series and sent to National Cricket Academy. Other than him, explosive batter Deepak Hooda has been ruled from the series as he sustained a back injury.
