Talented Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant has shared his recovery update after experiencing a life-threatening car accident late last year as well. He also added that it has given him a new perspective and he has found happiness in small things. Despite his recovery process, he is likely to miss most of the action this year, having torn three key ligaments in his knee. Former India captain Sourav Ganguly, now involved in the management role with the Delhi Capitals, said that he might take a couple of years to return.
Speaking to IANS, Rishabh Pant stated that people often forget the small things in life amid the hustle and bustle of daily activity. The 25-year-old cricketer also revealed that the accident has prompted him to enjoy his life to the fullest as well.

“It is hard for me to say if everything around me has become more positive or even negative. However, I’ve gained a fresh perspective on how I view my life now. Something I value today is enjoying my life to the fullest and this includes the smallest of things that we ignore in our daily routine. Everyone today is hustling and working extremely hard to achieve something special, but we’ve forgotten to enjoy the little things which give us joy every single day.”

He continued: “My biggest realisation and message would be that feeling blessed every day is also a blessing, and that’s the mindset I’ve adopted since my setback and being able to enjoy every moment which comes my way is a takeaway I have for myself.”

However, Rishabh Pant has brought the Test team out of difficult situations several times and has managed to get runs in all types of conditions as well. His absence is somehow affecting the Indian team adversely in the Test format. On the other hand, his IPL side, the Delhi Capitals will also miss his service as well.
