Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant, out of action at the moment because of a leg injury picked up on the England tour, has been entertaining fans on social media. The other day, he posted a heartwarming flashback from his childhood-not about cricket, but through a humble haircut.
A Haircut Under the Tree
Pant tweeted photographs of himself receiving a haircut from a tree, a setting befitting village life and his childhood.
Hunched comfortably in the shade as a trained hair stylist trimmed his locks, the photos recalled the innocence of childhood, the antithesis to the glamour that normally trails professional athletes.
Along with the photographs, Pant penned: “Reminded me of my childhood when I used to get my hair cut under a tree, so I thought of trying it again. How many people have had their hair cut under a tree at some point in time? Do tell me.”

The post resonated with fans, who posted their own childhood memories and photos in the comments. It reminded them of the simplicity of pure memories and why it’s essential to remain grounded despite fame and success.
IPL Highlights and Achievements
Earlier this year, Pant was acquired by Lucknow Super Giants for a record Rs 27 crore in the Indian Premier League mega auction and became the costliest player in the history of the tournament. Named team captain, Pant made the season special with an exceptional century inning, despite a tough overall season.
