Rishabh Pant Plays Chess, Asks Fans To Guess His Opponent In Cryptic Post
India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant, who met with a horrific road accident in December last year, shared a cryptic post on his Instagram on Tuesday. The 25-year-old cricketer sustained multiple injuries in a road accident on December 30 and although his car caught fire due to the incident, Pant was able to safely escape in time. Pant has been sharing updates on his health with his fans on social media at regular intervals but his latest Instagram story left the fans confused.
Pant posted a picture of him playing a game of chess. In the photo, there was chess board with some pieces lying in front of it, along with an empty chair in the frame. The picture portrayed as if someone was playing chess with Pant, but it was not revealed who was the wicketkeeper's rival in the game.
"Can anyone guess who's playing?" the caption of the picture read.
Pant has undergone several surgeries and according to reports, his burns are also getting better. The doctors have predicted he will need 6-9 months to recover from injuries completely and he will surely miss this year's Indian Premier League.
Earlier, Indian cricket legend Kapil Dev expressed his concern for the youngster and on a lighter note, he wants to slap Pant as soon as he recovers from the injuries he sustained in that near-fatal accident.
Kapil Dev, in a video on Uncut, said that Pant's absence has left the Indian team in tatters. Just like parents have the right to slap children when they make mistakes, Kapil wants to do the same to Pant after he has recovered.

Matthews's All-Round Show Fires Mumbai Indians To 9-Wicket Win Against RCB
Mumbai Indians cruised to their second consecutive win in the Women's Premier League on Monday with a comprehensive nine-wicket victory over Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), who succumbed to their second defeat in as many days. Chasing 156, an all-round show from Hayley Matthews helped Mumbai Indians to consolidate their position at the top of the WPL points table. The West Indian picked up three wickets and completed a fine all-round show by scoring a 38-ball 77. Mumbai Indians, who won the first game by 143 runs against Gujarat Giants, now have four points from two matches with a net run rate (NRR) of 5.185.
Matthews yet again forged a defining partnership with England's Nat Sciver-Brunt, with the two right-handed batters hammering the RCB bowlers all over the park to put on an unbeaten 114-run stand for the second wicket.
If Matthews produced an all-round show to help Mumbai Indians to their second win, the uncapped Saika Ishaque also impressed once again, grabbing two wickets and taking her tally in the tournament to six.
Nat Sciver-Brunt, who couldn't get a good start in the opening game, made up for the disappointment on Monday by cracking an unbeaten 55 off 29 balls, studded with 10 fours and a six.
'Player of the Match' Matthews seemed to have picked up from where she had left off at the DY Patil Stadium the other night, playing her strokes with power, precision and command.
Matthews hammered 13 boundaries and a six in her 38-ball unbeaten 77, which came after she had returned superb bowling figures of 4-0-28-3.
She accounted for RCB skipper Smriti Mandhana, Heather Knight and Richa Ghosh.
Matthews might have taken her fourth wicket in her final over but Renuka Thakur thwacked the ball real hard for the bowler too take the return catch.
The only breakthrough for RCB came in the fifth over when Preeti Bose trapped Yastika Bhatia in front of the wickets for a well-made 23 off 19 balls.
The Mumbai wicketkeeper-batter, who looked out of sorts in the first match, broke the shackles with an unconventional shot that got her the first four of the innings, and she did well to help forge a 45-run first-wicket stand.
Sciver-Brunt took a liking for Shreyanka Patil in the eighth over, clobbering three boundaries to put Mumbai Indians in almost a run-a-ball situation from thereon. Sciver-Brunt and Matthews took on Patil once again, this time in the 13th over, with three fours and a six getting them 20 runs.
Earlier, RCB fought back with useful contributions from their lower order as they recovered from a batting collapse to reach 155 in 18.4 overs.
After a bright start provided by captain Smriti Mandhana (23 off 17 balls, 5 fours), RCB lost four wickets in eight balls to slip from 39/0 to 43/4 between the fourth and the fifth over.
The damage was caused by Saika Ishaque and Hayley Matthews, who along with New Zealand's Amelia Kerr shared seven wickets between them.
But credit to RCB batters -- Richa Ghosh (28), Kanika Ahuja (22), debutant Shreyanka Patil (23) and Megan Schutt (20) -- who not only got some much-needed runs but also took the team's total beyond 150, which looked difficult at one stage.
