Rishabh Pant shares Tweet to Thank his Heroes For Helping Him After Car Accident

India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant has tweeted for the first time after facing a life-threatening car accident last month in Uttarakhand.

The star cricketer – who has been recovering from injuries in a Mumbai hospital – on Monday (January 16) took to his Twitter handle to thank the Good Samaritans who rescued him at the site of the car crash.

Rishabh Pant in the Tweet wrote:

“I may not have been able to thank everyone individually, but I must acknowledge these two heroes who helped me during my accident and ensured I got to the hospital safely. Rajat Kumar & Nishu Kumar, Thank you. I’ll be forever grateful and indebted.”

Pant survived a horrifying car crash on NH-58 on December 30 last year when he was driving back home from Delhi to Rourkee. Further, he was first admitted in a hospital in Dehradun and then shifted to Mumbai, where he had three surgeries — two on knee and one on ankle. He is expected to be out for one year.

Apart from this, the Indian cricket team’s Spiderman shared a picture of a Spiderman toy via Instagram. Take a look:

My surgery was a success: Rishabh Pant confirms

“I am humbled and grateful for all the support and good wishes. I am glad to let you know that my surgery was a success. The road to recovery has begun and I am ready for the challenges ahead. Thank you to the @BCCI, @JayShah & government authorities for their incredible support,” Pant wrote on Twitter.

The 25-year-old had injuries to his ligament muscles and was airlifted from Dehradun at the BCCI’s behest. He was later operated upon on supervision of Dr Dinshaw Pardiwala, one of BCCI’s empaneled surgeons.

Pant is already ruled out of the IPL. Moreover, it is learnt that he would be out for most part of 2023 including the ODI World Cup in India in October-November. The wicketkeeper-batter last played in the two-Test series in Bangladesh in December. Moreover, was rested for the white ball home series against Sri Lanka.

“Rishabh Pant will not be available for the IPL,” former BCCI chief Sourav Ganguly made it clear that he will miss the upcoming IPL 2023. “It will be a great IPL (for the team), we will do well but Rishabh Pant’s injury will affect the Delhi Capitals,” Ganguly, who is due to join Delhi Capitals as director of cricket.
