Ajay Jadeja, during his short stint with the Delhi team, oversaw some training sessions. Rishabh Pant was initially snubbed from the squad, but his calibre seemed enough to make a debut midway in the Ranji season.
The 18-year-old Indian wicket-keeper batsman then turned down his proposition and claimed with utter confidence that if the management really needed him, then they would call him directly.
“I was the coach of Delhi for a few days before quitting (in 2015). The selectors and captain kept arguing over the players they wanted to have in the team. Pant wasn’t picked."
Pant's reply to this not only shocked Ajay Jadeja then, but also took everyone by surprise recently. Pant had a significant portrayal of confidence when he showed utmost faith in his abilities.
Rishabh Pant's Record in First-Class Cricket
Rishabh Pant made his debut in Indian first-class cricket back in 2015, when Pant was just 18 years old. Pant plays in the Ranji Trophy for the Delhi State Cricket team, as the batter scored a stunning triple-hundred against Maharashtra the very next year post-debut.
Following several good domestic first-class seasons and a stunning IPL, Pant made his Test debut for India back in August 2018 against England. Ever since his debut, Pant has been a star in the longest format of the game.
