Former India cricketer and Punjab Kings skipper Shikhar Dhawan reflected on Rishabh Pant’s journey from suffering a horrific accident to recovering from the injuries. He expressed that the wicket-keeper batter will do wonders for the country.
Rishabh Pant was involved in a dangerous car crash in December 2022. He underwent multiple surgeries and has been out of action since then. He will be making a comeback to the sport in the upcoming Indian Premier League 2024 season. Shikhar Dhawan expressed that he is excited for Rishabh Pant’s comeback. Speaking exclusively to Star Sports at the ‘Star Nahi Far’ event, the Punjab Kings captain said,
“I am very happy and excited to see Rishabh Pant back in action. He has survived such a fatal accident, all thanks to God. In this last year, he has worked so hard and shown such positive intent. He was in such pain that he wasn’t even able to move or do anything for the first few months.”
“Even for the toilet, he needed someone’s assistance. From that rough phase to now, he has shown a lot of patience, positivity, and tolerance, and it’s a huge thing. It surely gave him a lot of strength, and I am sure he is going to do wonders for himself and the country,” he added.
