Rishabh Pant has had a dream year of cricket. It started with a world-record knock in the under-19 World Cup, a big IPL outing and then an extremely successful first full season in the Ranji Trophy.
In his first season itself, Pant managed to score four centuries, including a magical triple ton against Maharashtra. Little surprise then that he earned his first India call-up in January 2017 against England in the T20 series.
The Quint caught up with the young star on the sidelines of the announcement of his new tie-up with sports brand Adidas.
