Melbourne, Australia – Former Team India coach Ravi Shastri has hailed Rishabh Pant’s recovery from a serious car accident earlier this year as “miraculous,” stating he never believed the cricketer would return to the sport. Pant was involved in a near-fatal car accident, sustaining severe injuries that initially appeared career-ending.
Shastri, speaking to an Australian website, described visiting Pant in the hospital a month after the accident. He recounted seeing the cricketer in a critical condition, heavily injured and visibly traumatized after undergoing extensive surgery.
Despite the grim prognosis, Pant made a remarkable recovery, returning to play in the IPL and subsequently featuring in Test series against Bangladesh and New Zealand. Shastri emphasized that Pant’s return to international cricket, including his participation in the World Cup and subsequent Test matches, is an extraordinary achievement. He even went so far as to suggest that Australia should fear Pant’s return to form.
