KEY HIGHLIGHTS Rishabh Pant will mark his Test comeback vs Bangladesh.

He has found an unexpected fan in a WWE Hall of Famer.

Fans reacted hilariously to this unexpected collaboration.

Rishabh Pant is currently enjoying one of the best comebacks in cricket history. After the horrific car accident in December 2022, the wicketkeper returned to action after more than a year of being out during the IPL 2024. He then marked his comeback in Team India coilours in the T20 World Cup 2024, where he was one of the main players in the team that won the trophy. He even made his ODI comeback in the Sri Lanka series, and is now set to return in Test matches against Bangladesh. Pant's determination has now found a fan in former WWE manager and Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff .

A user on X had commented that Rishabh Pant's selection in the India Test squad for the Bangladesh series within two years of the horrific accident showed his tremendous resillience and willpower. Replying to this post, Eric Bischoff said that Rishabh Pant is a 'deadly' combination of discipline and commitment.

However, fans reacted quite humorously to the WWE legend's unexpected post. Some questioned who he was, while some where surprised at Bischoff's interest in a non-American sport like cricket.
