In a recent interview, Rishabh Pant, the dynamic wicketkeeper-batter for the Indian cricket team, opened up about a life-changing experience that he had kept hidden from the public for a while. He revealed that after a near-fatal car accident on the Delhi-Dehradun highway in December 2022, he was hesitant to even step foot in an airport, fearing the attention and questions that would come with being in a wheelchair.
Pant shared that the accident had left him with multiple injuries that required a major knee surgery and a long period of rehabilitation, which he has now recovered from. But at the time, he wasn't sure if he would even survive the ordeal. "God was very kind to save me," he said, reflecting on the experience.
Speaking on the talk show "Dhawan Karenge" hosted by fellow Indian cricketer Shikhar Dhawan, Pant shared the struggles he faced during his recovery. "For two months, I couldn't even brush my teeth. And for six to seven months, I was in excruciating pain," he recalled. It was a challenging time for him, both physically and mentally.
Despite the difficulties, Pant made a remarkable comeback after 14 months, returning to the field in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and showcasing his explosive batting skills once again. It was a triumphant moment for him, and a testament to his determination and resilience in the face of adversity.
Pant's story serves as a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope and the possibility of overcoming obstacles. His journey is an inspiration to many, and he continues to be a valuable asset to the Indian cricket team with his exceptional talent and unwavering spirit.
