Rishabh Pant might not be on the cricket field right now, but that didn’t stop him from entertaining fans in his own funny way.

The Indian wicketkeeper-batter, who is still recovering from a toe injury, shared a video of himself playing golf and the result was nothing short of hilarious.

Rishabh Pant’s golf attempt leaves fans in splits during IND vs WI Test

The star left handed batter shared a video of himself playing golf on X (formerly called Twitter ). Pant captioned the clip with a cheeky line, saying the ball went “everywhere except where it should.”

The video quickly went viral as fans saw him struggle to make a simple putt before celebrating wildly when he finally got it right.

Watch the video below:

Why is Rishabh Pant missing India’s Test series against West Indies?

Pant has been out of action since picking up a fractured toe during the England series in July.

He was expected to return for the West Indies Tests starting October 2, but his recovery has taken longer than planned.

With him sidelined, Dhruv Jurel was brought in as his replacement, while Ravindra Jadeja has been serving as vice-captain. Pant, meanwhile, has been working on his rehab at the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru.

Chief selector Ajit Agarkar recently confirmed that the team is hopeful of Pant being fit for the South Africa Test series in November.

This also means he will not feature in the white-ball series against Australia starting October 19.

Pant remains a crucial part of India’s long-term plans, and the management is in no hurry to rush him back. For now, his focus is on full recovery before making a proper comeback.
