In 2019, a picture of five well-known Indian cricket stars became viral online. Hardik Pandya, MS Dhoni, Jasprit Bumrah, Rishabh Pant, and Mayank Agarwal were all featured in the photo. However, the picture showed Pant with an enigmatic hand on his shoulder, which aroused interest and rumours among viewers and the media. Agarwal has now come forward to reveal the mystery around this perplexing image.
Fans were perplexed by the unseen hand on Pant’s shoulder in the viral photo, which at first glance appeared to show five Indian cricketers sharing a private moment. Theoretical conjectures included everything from a ghostly presence to a friendly cricket teammate trick. However, Agarwal subsequently revealed that the mysterious hand belonged to him alone.

“Let the nation finally know: it is MY hand on @RishabhPant17 shoulder, after years of in-depth investigation, discussions, and innumerable conspiracy theories. Ps: Any and all additional allegations are false and deceptive.” Mayank tweeted on X (previously).
The image was published by the famous all-arounder Hardik four years ago. But it has since appeared online almost yearly for no apparent reason. But despite his much-needed disclosure, Agarwal did not end all rumours. Although he didn’t offer any evidence to support his claim that it was his hand, it is clear from the image that it was Agarwal’s hand.
Speaking of Pant, he was hurt in a terrible vehicle accident in Roorkee last December, forcing him to miss a significant amount of time from work. The left-handed hitter is currently healing and is anticipated to return the following year. Pant won’t play in the 2018 ODI World Cup and missed the 16th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Agarwal, on the other hand, is no longer part of India’s Test team. The Indian team management gave him a chance in the ODI format as well. But shockingly, the official has since entirely disregarded him, making it doubtful that he will return.
So, this was all about the mystery Hand on Rishabh Pant. Also read, WWE star Drew McIntyre supports India in a blue jersey.
