NEW DELHI – Indian cricketer Rishabh Pant, who was involved in a serious car accident in December 2022, has gifted scooters to the two young men who rescued him. The story emerged recently through a sports broadcaster’s video featuring Rajat Kumar and Nish Kumar, who were the first responders to the accident near Roorkee. The video showed the two men riding scooters bearing the name “Rishabh Pant,” confirming the gifts.
Pant’s car veered off the road and hit a divider while he was driving from Delhi to Uttarakhand. Kumar and Kumar immediately alerted emergency services and helped extract Pant from the burning vehicle, also securing valuables and ₹4,000 in cash which they later turned over to the police. Pant’s quick treatment was credited to their swift actions.
After undergoing multiple surgeries, Pant has made a full recovery and recently returned to competitive cricket. He is expected to fetch a substantial price at the upcoming IPL mega auction. The previously unreported act of generosity highlights Pant’s gratitude for the life-saving assistance he received.
