December 2022. Indian star wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant suffered a terrible accident in the thirty first night. The car twists and turns, he survived from the door of death. Then 453 days passed!
Between surgery in Mumbai, long rehabilitation process in Bangalore. Pant is back in his beloved 22 yards, captaining the Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
However, he could not bat against the Punjab Kings. Pant scored 18 runs off 13 balls with 2 fours. He was caught at backward point while cutting a slower short ball from Harshal Patel. The old punt was seen before the out. He went down the wicket and played at extra cover with ease, but despite looking fluent, he could not extend the innings.
Seeing Pant’s movements on the wicket as before, a fan named Sandeep commented, ‘Same old Pant – welcome back.’
An accident robbed Panth of his dream of playing a World Cup at home, a season of IPL. Another World Cup is knocking on the door when he returns to another IPL, but Pant has a lot to prove!
