Rishabh Pant Shares His Grueling Recovery Journey Post-Injury On Dhawan Karenge

Popular cricketer Rishabh Pant stars in the upcoming second episode of 'Dhawan Karenge,' a lively talk show hosted by Shikhar Dhawan. Pant, 26, shares his journey after sustaining severe injuries from a horrific accident. These injuries included multiple fractures and required ligament and knee treatment. They were critical to his career.

During the episode, Rishabh Pant opens up about his experience. He says, "Self-belief and self-confidence are very important while recovering from an injury because there are people saying all sorts of things around you, and you, as an individual, have to think about what's good for you." He adds, "The accident was a life-changing experience for me. When I got up after it, I wasn't even sure if I would be alive, but God was very kind to save me. I couldn't even brush my teeth for two months, and for six to seven months, I suffered with unbearable pain. I couldn't go to the airport because I was nervous about facing people in a wheelchair."

He further concludes, "Now that I'm making a comeback in cricket, more than feeling pressure, I'm excited. I feel this is kind of a second life, so I'm excited but also nervous."

Pant recently returned to IPL 2024 after a 15-month rehabilitation. To hear more about his injury and recovery, watch the latest episode of 'Dhawan Karenge,' streaming exclusively on JioCinema Premium at Rs. 29/month.
