An enthusiastic admirer of Team India batsman Rishabh Pant handed 100 food packs to the needy to commemorate the player’s return after a lengthy absence. Pant was severely injured in a vehicle accident in December 2022, forcing him to miss more than 14 months of cricket.
Rishabh Pant endured an arduous recovery process under NCA’s guidance. Ultimately, BCCI confirmed his fitness for IPL 2024 which was welcomed news. The left-hander’s long-awaited return to cricket will see him captain Delhi Capitals during the imminent IPL season, marking his comeback to the field.
Pant reported to the DC camp on Wednesday (March 13) and began preparing for the league. One of Pant’s followers was overjoyed when he learned about his reappearance and celebrated by doing a good act, donating food packages to the poor.

“Gratitude towards life has increased a lot”- Rishabh Pant on his thought process after car accident
Rishabh Pant recently told the Times of India how spirituality helped him during his rehabilitation journey. He said:
“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.”
