India National Cricket Team wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant was involved in a massive life-threatening accident in December 2022. The keeper-batter met with a car accident while traveling to his hometown, Roorke, from Delhi.

This came after the Test series against the Bangladesh National Cricket Team in December 2022. The keeper-batter dozed off while driving his car, which hit the divider and was tilted upside down and caught fire immediately with Rishabh Pant inside.

However, two locals in Rajat and Nishu came as a savior for him and helped him. The duo took Rishabh Pant out of the burning vehicle and called an ambulance for him. Thanks to their effort, the India National Cricket Team batter was saved and now is back on the field, playing for the national team in all three formats.

Rishabh Pant, after recovering from the injuries, also went on to thank the duo with a special post on his Instagram account. But not only this; the keeper-batter also showed a kind gesture towards Rajat and Nishu. The keeper-batter gifted something special to his life saviors.

It has been revealed that Pant gifted scooters to Rajat and Nishu to give him his second life. This was revealed by 7 Cricket in the interview with the duo. The two-wheelers also had Pant’s name imprinted on them.

Rishabh Pant makes a remarkable return to cricket after his accident

Pant made a return to cricket through the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. The keeper-batter made a sensational comeback and was the leading run-getter for his team. Based on that he was also included in the India National Cricket Team for the T20 World Cup 2024.

Pant won the T20 World Cup 2024 and, after that, made his return to ODIs and Tests. His comeback in the longest format of the game has been remarkable. He slammed a terrific century against the Bangladesh National Cricket Team and, after that, was exceptional in the series against New Zealand.

Pant is currently part of the India National Cricket Team for the ongoing Test series against the Australia National Cricket Team. He was the shining light for the team in the first innings of the ongoing first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25, which is taking place at the Optus Stadium in Perth.

The Southpaw yet again stood tall for his team in a tough situation where almost every other batter struggled to get going. He was one of the main reasons why the India National Cricket Team posted 150 runs. He took the attack to the Australia National Cricket Team bowlers and ended with an innings of 37 runs off 78 balls with the help of three boundaries and one six.
