Mini bio
How it started.
Pant grew up playing school cricket in Uttarakhand, often alongside older boys. His father encouraged him, and a summer camp at Delhi’s Sonnet Club brought him to coach Tarak Sinha. After age-group cricket in Rajasthan, he returned to Delhi to keep developing his game.
The breakthrough.
The 2016 Under-19 World Cup put his attacking batting in front of a wider audience, with a quick fifty against Nepal and a century against Namibia. Delhi picked him for the IPL that year. His India debut followed in February 2017, and he began his Test career in 2018.
Innings fans remember.
His unbeaten 89 at Brisbane in January 2021 helped India win the match and the series. After serious injuries in a December 2022 car accident, he returned to cricket in 2024 and marked his Test comeback against Bangladesh with a century. At Headingley in 2025, he made hundreds in both innings.
Beyond the scorecard.
On his official YouTube channel, Pant shares practice footage and personal videos, including a look through his Instagram memories. His IPL journey took him from Delhi to Lucknow for 2025 and 2026, before a June 2026 trade brought him back to Delhi Capitals.
