Rishabh Pant is an Indian cricketer who plies his trade for Team India in international cricket. In domestic cricket, he represents Delhi while in IPL, he plays for Delhi Capitals.

Pant shot to limelight in 2016 when he impressed in the Under-19 World Cup followed by IPL and domestic cricket.

He had finished the Under-19 World Cup as India's second highest run-scorer, scoring 267 runs with the help of a century and two half-centuries.

It was followed by an impressive campaign in the IPL before he shone in domestic circuit where he smashed a triple century and hit a 48-ball century in the Ranji Trophy.

The stunning exploits with the bat helped Pant earn his maiden India call-up in 2017 and he made his T20I debut during the home series against England. In 2018, he made his Test and ODI debut too. In his maiden Test series, which was the away series against England, he scored a brilliant century.

Pant was also a part of the Indian team for the 2019 World Cup and the T20 World Cups in 2021 and 2022.

He would have been a part of the team for the 2023 ODI World Cup as well but missed out due to the car accident that kept him on the sidelines for more than a year. Pant finally made his much-awaited return to action during IPL 2024 and hit the ground running.

He scored more than 400 runs in his comeback season and made the cut for the T20 World Cup. Pant played in all the games in the World Cup and helped India win the tournament after a gap of 17 years.

While Pant's professional life is well known to the cricket fans, not many know about his personal life. So here we are taking a look at Rishabh Pant family members and his family details. Rishabh Pant’s family members names are already mentioned above.

Rishabh Pant's parents:

Rishabh Pant was born to Rajendra Pant and Saroj Pant on October 4, 1997, in Roorkee, Uttarakhand. Talking about Rishabh Pant’s family background, his parents played a huge role in his cricketing journey.

While the Pant family resided in Roorkee, mother Saroj used to take her son to Delhi during the weekends for his cricket training. They did not have a place to stay in the national capital and used to stay at a gurudwara in Moti Bagh.

Pant has also never shied away from acknowledging his mother's huge role. When he was selected for the India squad for the 2019 World Cup, he first told his mother about it.

Time and again, the batter has credited his mother for his journey in the game so far. Even in 2022, he was on his way to Roorkee to surprise his mother on New Year’s Day when his car met with a horrific accident.

Talking about Pant's father, Rajendra used to run a school in Roorkee. Even though Rajendra was involved in academics, he did not discourage his son from focusing on cricket. When Pant was young, his father used to tie a pillow around his chest and bowl quick bouncers to him with a cork ball.

Pant senior made sure that his son lost the fear of playing the short balls from a very young age. Well, the move has paid off as Pant is one of the best players of short ball in the Indian team at present.

Rajendra, however, tragically passed away in 2017 soon after his son's debut in international cricket. Although he saw his son's debut in T20Is, he could not see his debut in Test and ODI cricket.

Rishabh Pant's elder sister:

Rishabh Pant has one sibling, elder sister Sakshi Pant. Sakshi was born on September 24, 1995, and is two years older than Rishabh. Sakshi is presently living in the United Kingdom.

She is very popular on social media and has more than 170k followers on Instagram. Sakshi regularly posts photos to keep her followers updated about her life.

Earlier on January 5, 2024, she got engaged to her boyfriend, Ankit Chaudhary in London. They were dating each other for more than 8 years before deciding to get engaged.
