The Asia Cup 2023 is just around the corner; Pakistan and Sri Lanka will co-host the competition, which is scheduled to start on August 30. The Indian squad is working hard to get ready to compete against some of the strongest teams on the continent as the competition draws near. The team is at the moment in Alur, Karnataka, getting ready for a training camp to better themselves. Rishabh Pant, the top Indian wicketkeeper, was also seen in the camp among the hard-working athletes.
Rishabh Pant was seen greeting his teammates and having fun with them in the camp in a video that has been doing the rounds on social media.
In the viral video, Rishabh Pant could be seen joking around with Kuldeep Yadav, sitting next to Shardul Thakur, and watching the players with head coach Rahul Dravid. The 25-year-old has been out of the running for selection after he was hurt in a terrible vehicle accident in December 2022 and is currently on the path to recovery. The 25-year-old will not play in the ODI World Cup in 2023, but he is anticipated to rejoin the squad soon.
