During the 2019 World Cup, a picture of Indian players went viral on social media, in which a big mystery was hidden: “Whose hand is on Rishabh Pant’s shoulder?” This question became a topic of discussion everywhere. Now, after 6 years, Rishabh Pant himself has revealed this mystery.
In this viral picture, along with Rishabh Pant, former captain MS Dhoni, Hardik Pandya, Jasprit Bumrah and Mayank Agarwal are also seen. The picture was taken during a Boys’ Day Out during the World Cup 2019, but the players had no idea that the picture would become a sensation of humor and confusion on the internet.
In the picture, there is no one behind Pant, yet a hand is visible on his left shoulder. Recently, Rishabh Pant asked fans to ask questions with #AskRP on social media platform X. A fan shared the same picture and asked him, “Solve the biggest mystery.” Whose hand was on your shoulder?”
Rishabh Pant replied, “Mayank Bhai’s.” With this answer, this 6 year old mystery has now been solved.
India’s journey in the 2019 World Cup ended with a defeat at the hands of New Zealand in the semi-finals. In this tournament, Rohit Sharma became the highest run scorer with 648 runs, but the team could not win the title. This was MS Dhoni’s last international match and Virat Kohli’s last ODI World Cup as captain.
