2023 August Archive – Rishabh Pant: The Unluckiest Cricketer?

Welcome to the August 2023 archive of CG Dhamaka India. This month we featured a single, hot‑talk article that dives into the roller‑coaster career of Indian wicket‑keeper‑batsman Rishabh Pant. If you’ve ever wondered whether Pant’s misfortunes are just bad luck or part of the game, you’re in the right place.

Why Pant’s Luck Feels Different

Pant’s story reads like a series of near‑misses. From getting bowled on the first ball of a debut innings to falling short in crucial chases, the pattern is hard to ignore. Fans often compare his run‑outs and low‑score dismissals to a “Snakes and Ladders” board where the snake is always waiting at the top of the ladder. This article breaks down three key moments that shaped that perception.

First, his debut Test against England in 2018. He walked out looking confident, but a sharp edge off the second ball sent him home for a duck. Then, the 2020 New Zealand series where a promising 40‑run knock turned into a quick‑fire dismissal after an ill‑timed pull shot. Lastly, the 2022 IPL finale where a mis‑taken single cost his team a win. Each incident adds a layer to the “unlucky” narrative.

Is It Really Bad Luck or Something Else?

While luck plays a role, the article also points out that Pant’s aggressive style makes him vulnerable. He loves playing big shots early, which raises the risk of getting out cheap. The piece suggests that his mindset—always looking for the next boundary—creates more “close calls.” It’s not all fate; it’s partly his own approach.

We also hear from a former coach who says Pant’s mental toughness helps him bounce back faster than most. After each setback, he’s known to smile, train harder, and come back with a bigger smile. That resilience is why fans keep cheering despite the mishaps.

In short, the article asks: is Pant the most unlucky cricketer, or is he just a fearless player who takes more chances than others? It doesn’t give a final verdict but leaves you thinking about the fine line between bravery and bad luck on the field.

That’s the only piece we posted in August, but it sparked a lot of comments and debates in our community. Readers shared their own Pant moments, some supporting the luck theory, others siding with his aggressive spirit.
