Rishabh Pant’s unfiltered praise for former South Africa captain AB de Villiers has left the fans in a frenzy. The latter was hosting his show on YouTube, 360 Live when an Indian fan asked if Pant should be made the captain of India’s Test team after the World Test Championship Final (WTC). Though de Villiers couldn’t answer the question as he kept on describing how the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) would look like after the upcoming mega auctions, the former RCB batter did get a special comment from the Indian wicketkeeper-batter.
Reacting to the video, Pant wrote, “Big fan of you.”
Meanwhile, the fans started requesting Pant to come and play for RCB in the IPL. Here’s how they reacted:

Rishabh Pant’s Magnificent Comeback in Tests
Pant’s highly anticipated return to Test cricket, after 637 days, was one to remember. He smashed his sixth Test century in the first Bangladesh Test in Chennai.
Pant’s explosive performance, paired with Gill’s composed knock, laid the foundation for India’s massive 280-run victory, putting them 1-0 up in the two-match Test series. While his 39-run effort in the first innings fell short of his expectations, Pant more than made up for it in the second, forging a crucial 167-run partnership with opener Shubman Gill. The wicketkeeper-batter spoke highly of his partnership with Gill, crediting their camaraderie off the field for their success in the middle.
Following his performance in Chennai, he secured his place for the second Test as well after the BCCI decided to name an unchanged squad.
