New Delhi: Team India star Rishabh Pant recently recreated legendary actor Rajinikanth’s famous pose from the movie Kabali. Taking inspiration from former India skipper MS Dhoni, who replicated the same pose in an iconic photo on Instagram a few years back, Pant showcased his stylish side. The wicket-keeper batter’s Instagram post drew the attention of the fans.
Pant shared a collage of himself and superstar Rajinikanth, imitating his famous pose and captioned the post – ‘Thalaiva’ which means ‘The Boss’.
Fans couldn’t help but draw comparisons between Pant and Dhoni, recalling a similar post made by the former India captain. Some also speculated if Pant is ready to join Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Reports had suggested earlier that Pant might join CSK ahead of IPL 2025 as a long-term replacement for Dhoni.
Pant made a remarkable comeback for India in the T20 World Cup 2024 earlier this year after a long hiatus following a dangerous car accident in December 2022. Pant miraculously survived the horrific crash and underwent multiple surgeries. However, he recovered in 15 months to make his comeback to professional cricket in the IPL 2024.
Pant earned a spot in India’s T20 World Cup 2024 squad thanks to his impressive performances in the IPL and played an important role in helping the team lift the elusive trophy. India defeated South Africa by 7 runs in a thrilling final to clinch their second T20 World Cup crown.
