T20 World Cup: Sunil Gavaskar Lauds Rishabh Pant's Maturity After Injury Return
T20 World Cup: Former India legendary batter Sunil Gavaskar has lauded wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant's maturity post his return to international cricket following a tragic car accident. Pant made his return to competitive cricket in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 earlier this year after recovering from multiple injuries sustained during a car crash in December 2023.
Pant's spectacular form in the season paved the way for his return to the Indian team for the T20 World Cup. Pant has played cameo innings of 36 not out, 42, 18, and 20 in the showpiece tournament so far.
"It's a miracle, you know? I mean, we all were so concerned when we heard about the accident. We heard about the severity of the injuries and we were all praying for him just to be ok. But not only has he been ok, he's come back so strongly. He's lost a little bit of weight, which was probably needed and it looked at one stage that he was just maybe getting a little overweight. He's lost a lot of bit of weight and he's looking so good, so fit," Gavaskar said on Star Sports.
