**New Delhi:** Indian cricketer Rishabh Pant, who has earned the mantle of MS Dhoni’s successor, made a triumphant return to the field after a life-threatening car accident in late 2022. The incident left many wondering if he would ever play cricket again, but Pant, with his unwavering spirit and determination, defied all odds and made a comeback in 2024.
As he celebrates his 28th birthday today, Pant’s story serves as an inspiration to many. He has amassed a net worth of 100 crores, built through his cricketing prowess and numerous brand endorsements.
The aggressive batsman debuted in first-class cricket in 2015 and joined the Indian team in 2017. He made his T20 International debut in February 2017, becoming the youngest player to represent India in the format at 19 years and 120 days. His Test debut followed in 2018, followed by his ODI debut in the same year.
Despite the life-altering car accident, Pant received a Grade A central contract from BCCI for the 2022-23 season, worth 5 crores. Although he was downgraded to Grade B this year, earning 3 crores, he still makes a hefty sum through match fees, with 15 lakhs for each Test, 6 lakhs for each ODI, and 3 lakhs for each T20 match.
His IPL journey began in 2016, when he was bought by Delhi Capitals for 1.9 crores. He currently earns 16 crores per season in IPL, earning over 74 crores from the league over the years.
Pant leads a luxurious life with a lavish home featuring modern interiors and a dedicated gym. He owns properties in Delhi, Rudki, Dehradun, and Haridwar, with his Delhi home estimated at 2 crores and his Rudki property valued at 1 crore.
A car enthusiast, Pant boasts a collection that includes a Mercedes, an Audi 8, and a yellow Ford Mustang. He further adds to his income through brand endorsements, associating with Adidas, JSW, Dream 11, Realme, Cadbury, and Zomato, among others.
While his personal life remains a subject of interest, he has been linked to actress Urvashi Rautela, but the star denied those reports. He has been dating Esha Negi, an interior designer from Uttarakhand, for several years. Esha is a regular sight at IPL matches, cheering for Pant.
Rishabh Pant’s journey is a testament to his indomitable spirit and the power of resilience. As he enters a new chapter in his life, he remains a source of inspiration for aspiring cricketers across the globe.
