Rishabh Pant shared a video showing his intense training routine as he nears full recovery from a foot fracture and prepares to return to competitive cricket.
Rishabh Pant appeared close to full fitness after sharing a training video on social media, signalling his return to competitive cricket. The wicketkeeper-batter has been sidelined for nearly three months following a foot injury sustained during the fourth Test against England, where a Chris Woakes delivery struck his right foot. The blow led to a suspected fifth metatarsal fracture, forcing Pant to miss the ongoing West Indies series.

In the video, he was seen performing high-intensity strength and conditioning drills under expert supervision at the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru. The 27-year-old looked in top shape as he powered through his workout routine, suggesting that his comeback could be just around the corner.
Pant is likely to make his domestic comeback in the 2025–26 Ranji Trophy season for Delhi, with officials confirming his availability for the second-round match starting October 25.
Meanwhile, India are currently hosting West Indies for a two-Test series before heading to Australia for three ODIs and five T20Is. Pant is expected to return to international cricket during the subsequent multi-format series against South Africa.
