WATCH]- A Supporter Of Rishabh Pant Marks His Return By Distributing 100 Meals To The Underprivileged

Pant endured significant injuries in a car accident in December 2022, sidelining him from cricket for over 14 months.

Following an intensive period of recuperation and rehabilitation at the NCA, the BCCI recently announced Rishabh Pant’s fitness for IPL 2024. The left-handed batsman will mark his highly anticipated return to the field as the captain of the Delhi Capitals (DC) franchise in the upcoming IPL season.

Pant joined the DC camp on Wednesday, March 13, to kickstart his preparations for the league. One of Pant’s admirers was overjoyed to hear about his return and commemorated the occasion by performing an act of kindness, distributing food packets to the less fortunate.

“Gratitude towards life has increased a lot”-Rishabh Pant discusses his thinking after the car accident

In a conversation with the Times of India, Rishabh Pant recently shared how spirituality aided him during his rehabilitation. He stated:

“You become more disciplined if you are spiritual. It’s a personal choice. It helped me concentrate on myself. When my accident happened, I felt something spiritual saved me.”

“With the kind of accident I had, I only got my knee injured but I can’t even imagine how much worse it could have been. Doctors even spoke to me about amputation. I always thought about God.”

He added:

“This has given a different view altogether. I know someone is watching over me. Even if I want to, I can’t delete that incident. I tried not thinking or regretting it too much so that it didn’t upset me all the time. I tried to keep it light.”

“I wanted to retain my identity. I never felt like I had to change drastically. You want to add things that help you. Gratitude towards life has increased a lot. You start appreciating small things about life.”

Delhi Capitals, captained by Rishabh Pant, will kick off their IPL 2024 campaign on March 23 against Punjab Kings.
