India’s rising batting star Rishabh Pant celebrates his 23rd birthday on Sunday (October 4), and wishes are pouring in for him from all around the world. On the occasion, Virat Kohli, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina and many other members of the cricket fraternity wished the talented wicket-keeper batsman. Touted to be the successor of MS Dhoni, Pant has destroyed many potent bowling line-ups in his short career so far and will like to make a significant mark in World cricket. Though the southpaw has faced criticism for not delivering consistently, the Delhi Capitals star is expected to get better with time.

Pant burst onto the scenes in the 2016 Under-16 Cricket World Cup where he played many fiery knocks and guided India to the finals. Within a year, the southpaw made his debut in the Indian national team. Though Pant is still settling his feet in international cricket, his record in IPL is nothing but jaw-dropping. In 58 games, Pant scored 1870 runs at an average and strike rate of 36.67 and 160.52 respectively. Meanwhile, let’s look at how cricket stars wished the swashbuckler on his special day.
