Rishabh Pant To Donate 10% Of Earnings To Foundation

Rishabh Pant, a key player for Team India, has pledged to donate 10% of his commercial earnings to the Rishabh Pant Foundation. This initiative aims to support both cricket-related and other charitable causes.

Pant, who is preparing for a crucial role in the upcoming Champions Trophy, considers this project very important and plans to share more details in the coming months.

"Everything I am, everything I have is because of the beautiful sport of cricket and all that I have learnt from life. I am grateful to be in the position that I am and off late, I have thought through deeply about giving back to the sport and the society in large.

"Ab isse better time kya ho sakta hai? Going forward, I am dedicating 10% of all my commercial earnings towards the Rishabh Pant Foundation. Main bahut excited hu (I am very excited) and I can't wait to get started and share more about this plan with all of you," Rishabh Pant said.

Since debuting for India in 2017, Rishabh Pant has become a vital player across all formats. He has played 150 international matches, contributing significantly in ODIs, T20Is, and Tests. His performances have been especially notable in Test matches where he scored centuries under challenging conditions in Australia, England, and South Africa.

Anant Arora, who co-manages Pant with Indranil Das Blah, expressed admiration for Pant's humility despite his success. "I have always admired Rishabh’s commitment towards staying rooted despite the superlative successes he has scaled over the years. His emergence to stardom and impeccable comeback symbolises strength.

"Beyond his incredible on-field excellence, Rishabh has always thoroughly acknowledged the role that his attitude has made him the athlete he is today. I am truly touched by his gesture of giving 10% of his commercial earnings to the Rishabh Pant Foundation, and I truly believe that it will have a lasting and tangible impact on the lives we manage to influence through this decision," said Anant Arora.

Pant's dedication extends beyond cricket as he strives to make a positive impact off the field too. His foundation aims to channel his sporting success into meaningful societal contributions. Fans eagerly anticipate how he will leverage his influence for constructive change.

Indranil Das Blah praised Pant's connection with fans across generations: "Rishabh has always been a fan favourite because of the connect he has with people across generations and his relatability amongst fans at large. He has constantly strived to bring smiles, both on and off the pitch. I applaud his dedication towards reciprocating the warmth that he has received from the masses, in a constructive manner. Knowing him, I am sure he will continue to strive towards causes that matter and we are eager to see the lasting impact of the work he carries out through this enterprising decision."

Pant's achievements include being part of India's T20 World Cup-winning team last year after an 11-year wait for an ICC trophy. His prowess was recognised when Lucknow Super Giant acquired him for Rs 27 crore in IPL's mega auction, making him their captain.
