In a recent video on Tanmay Bhat’s YouTube channel, Rishabh Pant reflected on India’s T20 World Cup 2024 victory, emphasizing the need to move forward. While he described the win as an “unbelievable feeling,” Pant acknowledged that the moment had passed and shared his intention to focus on future challenges.
“As a cricketer, you dream of winning the World Cup. During the injury, I was thinking that I wanted to win the World Cup. To come back into the side and directly win the World Cup was an unbelievable feeling. I am not thinking much about it now because I feel in India, people forget after 10-15 days what you have done,” Pant Said.
“So, it is important for you to forget these things as well. That moment will always be there with me, but now we have to move on and focus on what’s next,” he concluded.
Rishabh Pant batted at No.3 position in the T20 World Cup 2024 and amassed 171 runs in eight games.
