Rishabh was quick to dismiss the statement, claiming himself to be an ‘Uttarakhandi’ first. However, the staff clarified that he was talking in terms of Rishabh’s cricket career and not his birth place. Rishabh agreed with the staff after hearing the clarification, with the Chahal and Rishabh breaking into a laughter.

It is to be noted that, Rishabh had played for the U-14 and U-16 teams of Rajasthan before moving to Delhi. He had moved to Delhi from Uttarakhand at quite a young age, before being selected for the age-group teams of Rajasthan.
