With T20 World Cup around the corner, the whole team is slightly nervous: Rishabh Pant
With T20 World Cup around the corner, the whole team is slightly nervous: The Indian cricket team will begin their bid to defend the Twenty20 Asia Cup in the United Arab Emirates in a few days’ time.
On the other hand, anticipation for a much larger tournament, the Twenty20 World Cup in Australia in 2022, which will take place after it in October and November, has already started to grow.
In their previous tournament, India was eliminated in the league stage after suffering defeats at the hands of Pakistan and New Zealand. As a result, they would be eager to perform far better in this competition.
On Wednesday, the star wicketkeeper and batsman Rishabh Pant disclosed that Team India was beginning to suffer some anxieties regarding the Twenty20 World Cup, which is only around two months away at this point.
“With the World Cup just around the corner, everyone on the team is feeling a little on edge, but at the same time, we all love to compete to the best of our abilities and keep our attention fixed on the process. ”
“Absolutely,” Pant stated that this is the only thing that they could do for them and for them as a team: “provide our 100% as individuals and as a team.” He continued by saying, “Hopefully we’ll make it to the final and do our best for the squad.”
India will begin their campaign on October 23 against their bitter rivals Pakistan at a crowded Melbourne Cricket Pitch. The Men-in-Blue are, of course, counting on their wide set of followers to show up at the ground in large numbers to cheer for them as they have in the past. As members of the Indian team, we would greatly appreciate it if are many people as possible in Australia showed their support for us. Each and every cheer is important to us. It gives us hope that we can pull off the victory,” remarked Pant.
The 24-year-old batting gun, who plays cricket, adores playing at the world-famous MCG ground, which is considered to be a cricketing colossus. “I believe it’s a fantastic atmosphere, playing at the MCG because it’s one of the most iconic cricket stadiums around the world. ”
“I think It’s an amazing atmosphere because it’s one of the most iconic cricket stadiums around the world. Consequently, I really want to play there. At the event put on by ‘Visit Victoria,’ a young person stated that “the Indian crowd there is fantastic for us,” referring to the event’s attendees.
Pant statements
Pant has had success with the bat in the past in Australia. Few people will forget his blistering, unbeaten 89 that helped India chase down 329 and record a remarkable three-wicket win over Australia in the last Test at the Gabba. These innings also assisted India in securing a famous series victory 2-1. “Up to this point in my cricketing career, it has to be one of my all-time favorite moments.
He remarked, “I’m really happy that I was able to contribute to my team’s victory in that wonderful test match and series. That day was a turning point for us.”
Pant is a food enthusiast, much like the average person living in Delhi. “I have a passion for good meals. I have a tremendous appreciation for culinary delights. However, because I play cricket so frequently, I have to adhere to a stringent diet. He explained, “I’d want to visit Melbourne and Victoria for other things as well…like cuisine and coffee.”
Pant is excited to travel to Melbourne and Victoria with his teammates for the competition now that he does not have to suffer through any more bio-bubbles.
“I’d love to explore Melbourne more. Visit the beaches and the surrounding woodlands. There are a lot of people on my team that I’d really like to bring along with me (to explore… He named a few of them, including Avesh Khan, Ishan Kishan, Shubhman Gill, and possibly Rohit Bhai as well. “There are so many of them,” he continued.
Pant extended his best wishes to the state of Victoria for the success of the 2026 Commonwealth Games.
