On this day last year, Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant experienced a life-altering car accident. To commemorate the one-year anniversary, on Saturday (30th December), the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise, Delhi Capitals, shared an emotional video, providing insights into Pant's journey of resilience and determination.
The video, posted on Delhi Capitals' social media platforms, revealed that Pant is gearing up for a sensational comeback. The franchise has retained him, and there are even speculations that he might lead the team in the upcoming IPL season.
Captioned with, "365 days since that fateful night," the video captures Pant's unwavering commitment to making a strong return to the cricket field every day since the unfortunate incident. It emphasizes his gratitude, belief, hard work, and an unyielding attitude that fuels his remarkable comeback.
The emotional video features insights from cricket luminaries such as David Warner, Axar Patel, Ricky Ponting, and Sourav Ganguly, who share their thoughts on Pant's journey.
In the video, Axar Patel recounts, "Early morning around 7 or 8, Pratima didi (Pant's sister) called me. She told me to send Pant's mother's number because she knew I had it. I thought this must be serious. Everyone, including BCCI and Shardul, called me. Everyone knew that the last conversation Pant had was probably with me. I spoke to him; he was fine. He had some injuries, but he was going to fight it out."
The video sheds light on the severity of the accident, with Pant's car colliding uncontrollably with a railing near the Hamidpur Jhal area on the Narsan border. The vehicle caught fire and overturned, with Pant sustaining injuries to his head, back, and legs.
Despite the adversity, Pant displayed resilience by breaking the car's windshield and escaping before it caught fire. The video concludes with a message that fans will soon witness the bold and lively Rishabh Pant 2.0 in action.
This incident is a reminder of Pant's courage and determination, showcasing how he overcame adversity to make a triumphant return to the cricketing arena.
