Mumbai, Jan 20 : Enterprising wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant, whose heroics helped India register one of their most memorable Test wins against Australia in Brisbane, has signed a multi-year contract with JSW Sports.
The deal will see the firm manage all commercial interests and marketing rights of 23-year-old Pant.
Mustafa Ghouse, CEO of JSW Sports, said that JSW was looking for a long association with the talented left-hander.
“This contract will last as long as he plays. But right now, we are looking at it for a couple of years — a minimum of two years — and then we will extend it,” Ghouse, a former India Davis Cup tennis player, told IANS.
“The conditions for extending the contract beyond two years would, basically, be comfort and delivery; both parties have to be happy,” he said.
As part of the association, JSW Sports will manage Pant’s image positioning and all his commercial engagements, including brand endorsements and appearances, social media monetisation and business deals.
