Apart from being an incredibly explosive batter and a truly entertaining character, Pant has also been seen making different acrobatic moves either in the videos that he posts on Instagram or when he is on the field.

Speaking on the YouTube channel, ‘BeerBiceps’ last month, Basu recalled an incident when he misinterpreted Rishabh Pant as someone who had a personal gymnastics coach:

Shankar Basu on importance of gymnastics for youngsters like Rishabh Pant

Shankar Basu has been a household name in Indian cricket as he was the one who helped Virat Kohli transform into the fitness beast that he has been over the past decade.

Kohli has been pretty vocal about how fitness has helped him perform way better than expected and Basu has the same advice for any young athlete. He gave an example of how former Indian cricketer Sridharan Sriram’s son is doing well after taking gymnastics seriously:

Rishabh Pant is just 24 years of age and has already achieved incredible success in his career across formats. If he continues to remain as acrobatic as he is now, he will probably rule the next decade of international cricket.
