We haven’t seen Rishabh Pant, the most expensive buy of the 2025 mega auction, since he suffered a side strain on the eve of the ODI series against New Zealand in January. Pant, who is not a first-choice pick for India in white-ball formats, has been keen to sharpen his batting and, in that pursuit, it is understood he sought out former India allrounder Yuvraj Singh to spend some time with him. The two got together last week in Mumbai, where Yuvraj, who was recently seen working with Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson, is understood to have focused on both skills and temperament aspects of Pant’s game.
