Pant's 'never giving up' mantra gets another powerful chapter in Manchester

According to the Oxford Dictionary, the word ‘superpower’ has two primary definitions: a highly influential nation, and an extraordinary or superhuman capacity or skill in a normal human being.

From a cricketing perspective, Rishabh Pant has already performed feats on the field that have left many convinced he possesses some kind of superpower — hitting a six through his falling sweep shot, sweeping fast bowlers for boundaries, breaching long-standing fortresses, and chirping with his trademark lines while donning the keeping gloves.

But there’s one particular superpower, which is deeply admirable, that truly defines Pant — the 'never giving up' attitude. “Chahiye hi nahi yaar superpower, already hai – never giving up,” Pant once said in a video posted on the Lucknow Super Giants’ Instagram account on March 19.
