Rishabh was last seen playing in the India XI in the test against Bangladesh held last week. His contribution in crucial moments has been impeccable and it was no different in the second test match of the series. He aggregated a splendid knock of 93 runs in the first innings and helped India to be on track to not only win the match but also clinch the series against the host.
We hope Rishabh gets back on the field healthier, steadier, and stronger very very soon. We are looking forward to seeing him back on the field hitting boundaries very soon.
