There is little doubt that the Indian cricket fraternity is missing the services of wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant. The southpaw continues to recover from the injuries he sustained in a near-fatal car crash in December last year and hasn't played any cricket whatsoever from that time. He was even ruled out of the entire IPL 2023 and in his absence it is David Warner who is leading the franchise this season.
The stumper though has shown a speedy recovery and is currently under rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) facility in Bangalore. He has been informing his fans and well-wishers of his recovery through social media posts and this time around it is the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) who have given a bit of a sneak peak of what he has been upto lately.
The BCCI shared pictures of Pant's interactive session with some U-16 cricketers who were also at the NCA facility. The Indian cricket board thanked Pant to motivate the youngsters.
"The boys who are part of the Under-16 high performance camp at NCA Bangalore had the opportunity to interact with Rishabh Pant on cricket, life, hard work and much much more 👌🏻👌🏻 It was very generous of @RishabhPant17 to spare time for interacting with these young boys 👏🏻👏🏻," BCCI tweeted.
In earlier social media post, Pant had shared a health update as he was seen walking without crutches for the first time since the accident. In a short clip, the 25-year-old could be seen first walking with the help of crutches but slowly being able to continue his walk without its aid.
