Former England captain Nasser Hussain predicted that teenage cricketer Rishabh Pant would become a superstar and voiced optimism for the player’s return in the following year. Pant is healing quickly and hopes to be back before the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in the West Indies and the USA. Pant was injured in a horrific vehicle accident last year, which kept him out of action.
Nasser Hussain, a great supporter of Rishabh Pant aggressive style, is looking forward to the 26-year-old’s comeback and hopes he can have a significant influence in 2024.
Hussain, who is reflecting the feelings of many supporters, is eagerly awaiting Pant’s explosive return to the cricket scene. The wicketkeeper-batter is ready to create an impression with his aggressive approach. In addition, he disclosed that Ricky Ponting, the head coach of the Delhi Capitals and a former captain of Australia, has been keeping a close eye on Rishabh Pant for a considerable amount of time.
“What a terrible accident it was. The entire globe held its breath, and the healing process has been gradual. You follow me on my phone, on social media, and from his first few steps on foot to scenes in the gym, to scenes where he plays a little cricket, and to situations where he is with Ricky (Ponting). Hussain, cited by the ICC, stated, “I went to the Ashes with Ricky in the summer, and he texted me to ask how the process was going. He’s a box-office cricketer.
December 30th is the anniversary of Pant’s tragic accident.
Indian cricket fans were shaken to their core by a heartbreaking tragedy that occurred early on December 30, 2022, when Rishabh Pant was involved in a terrifying, near-fatal automobile collision on the Delhi-Dehradun route. In the unsettling CCTV clip, he was traveling to his hometown to celebrate the new year with his family when his car crashed into a divider, somersaulted many times, and burst into flames.
The Uttarakhand batter somehow made her out with the help of the villagers, but she needed medical treatment right then. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) was the first to reveal Pant’s injuries’ nature. These included abrasions on his back, injuries to his right wrist, ankle, and toe, two wounds on his forehead, and a ruptured ligament in his right knee. Fans were shocked by the tragedy but also glad that Pant survived despite suffering severe injuries.
