Rishabh Pant has sought CM Pushkar Dhami’s help to acquire land in Uttarakhand to return to his native place. He wants to buy land from the government.
India cricketer Rishabh Pant has set social media abuzz with a late-night post on X (formerly Twitter), in which he made a plea to Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami. Pant has asked CM Pushkar to help him acquire land in his native Uttarakhand after his own efforts to buy one went in vain.
Pant described his futile attempts as a “nightmare”, while claiming that he was supposed to receive land for promoting the state. The wicketkeeper-batter added that he wishes to shift his base back to Uttarakhand to be closer to his “pahadi people”.
Pant, who hails from Uttarakhand, came through the ranks while representing Delhi in domestic cricket. While he laid the foundation for his India career playing cricket in the national capital, he now wishes to move back to his native place and build his “first house” in the state.
Pant is currently involved in a warmup match between India and Sri Lanka Cricket XI in Colombo.
