Rishabh Pant<\/strong><\/a> has caught the attention of social media users after making a personal request to Uttarakhand Chief Minister<\/strong> Pushkar Dhami<\/strong>. The India wicketkeeper-batter, who is currently in Sri Lanka<\/strong><\/a>, took to X in the early hours of Saturday and asked the chief minister for help in finding suitable land to purchase in Uttarakhand.<\/p>\n Pant revealed that he has been trying to find a suitable property for the last three years as he looks to shift his base from Delhi to his native state. He also explained that he wants to reconnect with his roots and contribute to the development of Uttarakhand.<\/p>\n In his post, Pant directly tagged Dhami and explained his difficulties in purchasing land in Uttarakhand. The cricketer said he had been unable to find a property that was large enough and suitable for building his home. He went on to explain that he had been trying to purchase land for three years but had struggled to find a clear and suitable option. Pant also said that he wanted to move back to his \u201cPahadi people\u201d<\/em> and contribute to his home state.<\/p>\n \u201cHello sir how\u2019s you ???
