"Hits you differently" - Rishabh Pant poses with 2024 T20 World Cup medal

Team India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant shared a post on his Instagram handle where he can be seen posing with his 2024 T20 World Cup medal. The Men in Blue secured a thrilling seven-run win over South Africa in the final on Saturday, June 29.

With Virat Kohli opening the batting with Rohit Sharma, Pant was asked to bat at No. 3 in the lineup. The southpaw opened the campaign with impressive knocks of 36 and 42 against Ireland and Pakistan, respectively.

Pant seemed to have lost some steam towards the business end of the tournament. However, he still finished as India's third-highest run-getter in the edition, amassing 171 runs across eight innings.

Sharing what holding the 2024 T20 World Cup medal means to him, Pant wrote:

"This medal 🥇 hits you differently 🇮🇳🇮🇳😇."

Rishabh Pant failed to make a significant impact with the bat in the summit clash against South Africa. He bagged a two-ball duck, getting out caught behind off Keshav Maharaj's bowling.
