Watch: Rishabh Pant Gets a Tattoo Mark on His Bicep from Lethal Bowling from Mitchell Starc
Indian cricket team’s wicketkeeper batter Rishabh Pant got a huge tattoo blow on his bicep while batting Mitchell Starc in the 1st inning of the 5th Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-2025 series.
Team India’s batters once again failed early on as the top order were dismissed in the 1st session itself. That brought India’s wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant into the crease to try in and stabilise India’s inning.
Rishabh Pant has been so far playing quite different to his natural game. Instead of playing those big and aggressive funky shots, Pant has maintained his discipline as he looks to build India’s inning again.
Meanwhile, during his inning, Rishabh Pant suffered some heavy blows, including that of Mitchell Starc that gave him a tattoo on his bicep. Watch the video below.
Rishabh Pant took a number of heavy hits to the body.
