    Rishabh Pant resumes batting practice for first time since car crash, fans can’t keep calm
    A video summarising Pant's strength and persistence quickly went viral across social media sites.

    Digital Desk: Indian cricketer Rishabh Pant's incredible journey towards recovery has moved forward with his successful return to batting practice in the nets. Pant's comeback is obvious after adhering to an organised exercise regime created by the BCCI that includes flexibility work, weight training, and concentrated running.

    A video summarising Pant's strength and persistence quickly went viral across social media sites. The moment Pant enters the pitch to resounding cheers is captured on camera. Pant's talent becomes the focal point as the video unfolds.



    He finds his groove as he makes each batsman. His bat makes contact with the ball, sending it flying into the air and inspiring cheers from the audience. Since the tragic vehicle accident in December that crushed the country, Pant's absence from the cricket pitch has been evident. Fighting through hardship, Pant overcame that tragic event, each step of his recuperation echoing with the spirit of a champion. His various injuries from the accident were addressed through ligament surgery, a critical turning point in his rehabilitation process, which took place early this year.


    Pant is focused on the forthcoming World Cup despite his extraordinary recovery. However, the road to the World Cup is difficult and full of unknowns. His commitment to the game is unshakeable, but the reality of his ongoing recovery dampens the hope, making his chances of competing in the 2023 World Cup low.

    It was recently verified by the BCCI in a message that Pant has already started to bat and keep in the nets. Pant is creating a storyof determination that resonates far beyond the cricket ground with each step, practice session and swing of the bat.
