Rishabh Pant Becomes A Real-Life Hero, Helps Karnataka Girl Chase Her Dreams With Financial Aid News24 –
India’s energetic wicket-keeper-batter Rishabh Pant has never been anything but boisterous on the field or affable off it. Be it his aggressive batting or his humorous chirps behind the wickets, 27-year-old Pant is still winning hearts all over the world. But this time, Pant has hit the headlines for doing something outside the realm of cricket – a heartwarming act of charity that is gaining popularity on social media.
Pant Lends a Helping Hand to Student in Distress
In a heartwarming gesture, Rishabh Pant has come forward to financially assist Jyoti Kanaboor Math, a bright student from Karnataka, who was struggling to pursue her Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA) due to financial difficulties. Despite scoring well in her Class 12 exams (II PUC), Jyoti’s dreams of going to college seemed to be slipping away due to her family’s economic constraints.
Her dad, who operates a small tea stall, could not afford her college entrance fees. With no options in sight, Jyoti went to a local contractor, Anil Hunashikatti, seeking some assistance. Anil, being a friend of Pant, brought the girl’s story to the cricketer’s notice and what ensued melted hearts all over the country.
No second thought, Pant deposited Rs 40,000, paying for a whole semester’s tuition fees, enabling Jyoti to enroll in college and take her first stride toward a brighter future.
“I finished my II PUC in Galagali and had a dream to study for a BCA course. But our financial situation at home was not acceptable. I went to Anil Hunashikatti Anna (brother), and he contacted his friends at Bengaluru. They informed Rishabh Pant about my case, and he assisted me,” Jyoti told IANS, with a sense of gratitude.
A Hero Beyond Boundaries
This is not the first time the Delhi Capitals ace has gone out of his way to repay fans. In another incident, Pant had already assisted another student with Rs 90,000, which allowed them to finish their engineering studies.
Such acts speak volumes about the kind of human being Pant is one who cares deeply for his followers and strives to repay society in a big way.
“God bless Rishabh Pant with good health. His assistance is very valuable to me. I wish he goes on helping other poor students like me,” Jyoti said, praying for the long life and prosperous cricketing career of the cricketer.
On the Road to Recovery
In professional matters, Pant is on the road to recovery from injury and will be back on the field in six weeks’ time. A highly anticipated return awaits him from fans as well as analysts, given that India has a busy schedule looming ahead.
Whether he’s waging battle with a bat in his hand or waging war silently through acts of kindness, Rishabh Pant remains an all-around champion – on the field as much as off it. His actions extend far beyond the realm of cricket, serving as an example of how sports icons can use their position to make real, sustainable impact.
