Rishabh Pant knows how to make an entrance and Wimbledon 2025 was no exception. The Indian wicketkeeper-batter made his debut in the Royal Box this week, and honestly, he looked like he belonged there. Wearing a sharp striped suit, a clean tie, and some seriously cool glasses, Pant showed up looking effortlessly stylish. It didn’t take long for photos of him to flood social media, with fans praising both his fashion sense and his unexpected crossover into the tennis world.
It’s not every day you see a cricket star at Centre Court, but Pant fit right in. The All England Club was already buzzing with famous faces – Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma had earlier caused a stir at Novak Djokovic’s match and this just added more star power. Alongside legends like Brian Lara, James Anderson, and Joe Root, Pant helped bring a bit of cricket flair to the tennis crowd.But Pant wasn’t just there for the vibes, he had a clear favourite too. In a quick interview with Wimbledon’s media team, he shared that he’s backing Carlos Alcaraz to win it all. “I have to support Alcaraz. I think he is going to win the Championships,” he said, confidently picking the young Spaniard over Djokovic, who had Kohli’s vote.And, to be fair, Pant’s prediction doesn’t sound far off. Alcaraz has been absolutely flying through the tournament. He just breezed past Cameron Norrie in the quarters and is heading into the semis on a 23-match win streak. With Jannik Sinner struggling with an elbow injury, Alcaraz is suddenly looking like the clear favourite.
Back in the cricket world, Pant is still making headlines. His performance in the ongoing Test series against England has been nothing short of outstanding, with records continuing to fall.So whether he’s smashing it on the field or showing up in style off it, Rishabh Pant is having a serious moment right now. From cricket stadiums to Wimbledon’s Royal Box, he’s proving that he’s more than just a top athlete – he’s got the style, the personality, and apparently, the tennis predictions to match.
