Rishabh Pant, the talented Indian wicketkeeper-batsman, seems set to make a comeback sooner than expected in the cricket world.
The Indian wicket-keeper batsman, who has been sidelined for quite some time following a harrowing car accident, recently provided his fans with an update on his recovery. This left-handed batsman has been absent from the cricket scene for over a year since sustaining injuries on December 30, 2022.
After receiving medical attention and a few months of rest, he began rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy (NCA). Team India keenly felt his absence during the World Test Championship final and the ODI World Cup last year. There are positive indications that he is set to regain fitness before the upcoming IPL 2024 season, where he is slated to captain Delhi Capitals (DC). Ricky Ponting, the head coach of Delhi Capitals, expressed confidence in Pant’s progress towards full recovery.
Throughout his challenging journey after the tragic accident, Rishabh Pant has been consistently updating his fans on his recovery. Recent reports suggest that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is contemplating the IPL window for his comeback to competitive cricket.
On Monday, Rishabh Pant took to his Instagram account and Twitter handle to share a personal fitness update. He reflected on his progress, from the time when crutches were his mobility aid to his current improved fitness. Accompanying the video, he posted a motivational message, underscoring his resilience and journey towards recovery.

Sharing the video on his official X account, Pant wrote: “Seems like you forgot. Let me remind you…Remember when it was hard and it was overwhelming and you felt afraid and still walked alone? You didn’t have the answers then and couldn’t see the way and wanted to give up? You still kept going. Never forget that,”
