Indian star wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant gave a wholehearted speech on India’s 77th Independence Day on August 15, 2023. Pant attended the program conducted by the JSW foundation on a special occasion, and he delivered his inspiring words to many. The southpaw, in his speech, explained that as a cricketer, people start losing their love for sports but despite this, everyone should enjoy the sport. 

In a recently, uploaded video by a fan on Twitter, the swashbuckling batter was seen playing a match under JSW. The talismanic batter looked in good touch and had shown great recovery post his accident. The striking and foot moment is evident that Pant is on the right track for improvement and growing from strength to strength with every passing day. It is certainly good news for fans all around the globe.

“Once you keep growing older, you stop loving the game. One of the reasons is that there is a lot of pressure, you want to excel in life and do this and that. But wo enjoyment nahi miss karna hai life mein, (Don’t miss the enjoyment in life),” Pant said in a video posted by JSW Foundation chairperson Sangita Jindal.

The 25-year-old also shared a picture from the event with Parth Jindal, the owner of the Delhi Capitals side in the India Premier League (IPL). Pant posted the picture on his Instagram account and gave his fans updates about his post-injury journey after a car accident in December 2022. 

Rishabh Pant's return awaits the Indian team, especially in Test matches- 

The fact that Rishabh Pant might return to the Indian Test team for the home series against England allows the nation’s supporters to exhale. India will host the 5-Test match series in January 2024. This is according to the latest reports. Prior to his near-fatal vehicle accident, Pant last competed in a Test series for India against Bangladesh. For the Indian wicketkeeper-batter, it was a difficult period.
