Prithvi Shaw, Axar Patel Smash Cake on Rishabh Pant’s Face as He Celebrates 26th B’day at NCA – WATCH

Rishabh Pant on Tuesday celebrated his 26^th birthday at the National Cricket Academy on Tuesday. He has been recovering from multiple injuries suffered in a crash last year in December. He has been away from action since then and has been working on his comeback under the watchful eyes of trainers at the NCA.

On Tuesday, he cut his birthday cakes with fellow Indian and Delhi Capitals cricketers, Prithvi Shaw and Axar Patel, and a few NCA staff, including Nitin Patel, former Team India physiotherapist. As birthdays are celebrated in the Indian dressing room, Axar and Prithvi followed the same way and smeared the cake all over Pant’s face.

The video of the celebrations was shared on the Instagram handle of Delhi Capitals (DC). “Birthday rituals that make us go,” the caption of the video read.

As Pant swiftly recovers from his injury, he seems to have made advertisement commitments as well. He was featured in the latest ad video of Dream 11, sharing the frame with World Cup-bound players – Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan.

In another Dream11 ad, Pant shared the screen with Indian captain Rohit Sharma which has already gone viral on the internet.

Rishabh visits Badrinath and Kedarnath shrines

Ahead of his 26^th birthday, Pant visited the holy Badrinath and Kedarnath shrines in Uttarakhand on Tuesday. He first visited Badrinath and then went ahead to Kedarnath.

He was accompanied by Khanpur MLA Umesh Kumar. Amidst devotees and fans, Pant paid his respects at the sacred shrines.
