Watch: Ishan Kishan’s reaction to finding out about Rishabh Pant’s car accident goes viral
Everyone is well aware of the comradeship the two lefty-batters share. Be it at the Under-19 level or on the biggest stages, Ishan Kishan and Rishabh Pant have almost been on the same page. While there have been several instances when the two wicket-keeper batters were put against each other.
However, Rishabh Pant always seemed to have an upper hand, considering the number of chances the young stealthy batter has received in the national team. Nevertheless, the friendship and mutual support shared between the two fellow Under-19 teammates set several standards.
While the news of the Indian wicket-keeper batter, Rishabh Pant car accident quickly spread through the social media in the early hours of Saturday, December 28.
The accident happened at 5:30 AM IST and the fans and Pant’s teammates got to know a little late in the day about the brutal incident he was involved in. Some of his teammates didn’t even have a clue about his accident and learned about it later in the day. One of them was Ishan Kishan, Pant’s former U-19 and current Indian teammate. A video of his India teammate Ishan Kishan receiving the news via fans during a Ranji match is now doing rounds on Twitter.
Kishan was playing for Jharkhand at the Keenan Stadium, Jamshedpur against Services in the 2022/23 Ranji Trophy match. He was told by a bunch of fans about the news as he took selfies with a few at the boundary.

In the video, when a fan disclosed the news to the young cricketer, he was taken aback. On hearing to, “Rishabh Pant ka car accident hogya,” Ishan replied “Kya! Kya baat kar rahe ho?” (What! What are you talking about?).
While this video has become trending, Ishan Kishan had already shared his prayers for the fellow team member on the day when the news came in first. Sharing his well wishes, Ishan hoped Pant to recover soon and make a strong come.
