Rishabh Pant will be out of action for a long time.
For the existing players in the Indian cricket team, it is an absolute privilege and honor to play for the country. There is no better feeling than donning the national jersey and giving absolutely everything on the field.
At the same time, it is imperative for the players to take care of their fitness and well-being to deliver the goods in the long run. India’s wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant was recently met with an injury and his untimely accident shocked the entire cricket fraternity.
Indian cricketers, experts, fans and cricketers from other countries took to their social media handles and wished Rishabh Pant a speedy recovery. Apparently, Rishabh Pant was traveling all the way from Delhi to his hometown in Uttarakhand, Roorkee.
He was traveling all by himself in a Mercedes car and dozed off for a few seconds before the mishap happened. Rishabh Pant, who drove the car in the wee hours of December 30 (Friday), was traveling home to surprise his mother.
