Saturday marked one year since the horrific car crash suffered by the star wicketkeeper and batsman of Team India, Rishabh Pant. The mishap took place as Pant’s car hit a divider on the Delhi-Roorkee highway. The southpaw received serious injuries but was lucky to somehow escape from his burning car, thanks to the timely help given by a passerby. Pant’s India and Delhi Capitals teammate Axar Patel has now revealed new details of the “fateful” accident that has still kept the wicketkeeper-batter away from competitive cricket.
Axar, in a video uploaded by DC showing the timeline of Pant’s accident and recovery, said, “Subah 7 ya 8 baje mere phone pe ring baji. Pratima di ka phone aya. Pratima di ne mujhe pucha ki ‘teri Rishabh se kab baat hui thi last?’ Mene bola ‘nahi, kal karne wala tha lekin kal nahi ki mene’. ‘Are uski mummy ka number ho toh mereko send kar, uska accident ho gaya hai’. Matlab pehla thought mereko aaya ki ye bhai gaya.”

Pant is recovering well in a bid to make a comeback in the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2024. He was with the DC franchise at the auction table on December 19 this year in Dubai.
