2024 Stats: Matches: 9; Runs: 546; Average: 36.40

Rishabh Pant's comeback story following the catastrophic car accident is extensively publicised. His return in the 2015 IPL was a story of dedication, and his performance as a No. 3 batter on the most challenging wickets of the T20 World Cup said volumes about his tenacity.

There were still worries about his body's ability to withstand the rigours of five-day cricket, but all of that has been put to rest with his return to international cricket. The ease with which he batted against various teams this cricket season demonstrated that the cobwebs in his head had been cleared. Overall, he has appeared in excellent form, and his glovework has been impeccable throughout the season.
