I’m continually talking about Rishabh Pant fitness: Salman Butt
“Rishabh Pant playing his usual style, but he tried something new and got out. The ball impacted the bat, pad, and stumps, resulting in an unusual dismissal. I often talk about Rishabh Pant’s fitness because the shots he plays and attempts to develop would be easier for him to execute if he were healthy. I believe he is overweight. He is definitely overweight, and as a result, he is not particularly agile. In terms of fitness, he is below where he should be “Butt stated on his YouTube channel.
