Indian wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant escaped what might’ve been a deadly automobile accident on December 30. While driving a luxurious automobile, Pant reportedly dozed off whereas he was driving from Delhi to Roorkee. As a end result, his automobile hit the divider and caught hearth. Thankfully, Pant managed to interrupt the windscreen and was pulled out by a few truck drivers earlier than the hearth engulfed the complete automobile. Reacting to the horrific visuals of Pant’s accident, Indian cricket legend Kapil Dev has suggested him and different cricketers to by no means drive alone.

In a chat on ABP news, Kapil mentioned that prime cricketers can simply afford drivers, and therefore, they need to all the time drive with one. The 1983 World Cup-winning Indian captain cited his personal instance from a motorcycle accident he had been concerned in at a younger age.

“This is a learning. When I was still an up-and-coming cricketer, I faced a motorcycle accident. From that day onwards, my brother didn’t even let me touch the motorbike. I’m just thankful to god that Rishabh Pant is safe,” Kapil Dev mentioned.

“Yes, you have a good-looking car with great speeds but you have to be careful. You can easily afford a driver, you don’t have to drive it alone. I understand that one has hobbies or even passion for such things, it’s natural to have it at his age, but you also have responsibilities. Only you can take care of yourself. You have to decide things for yourself,” Kapil additional mentioned.

According to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Pant has two cuts on his brow, a ligament tear in his proper knee, and a number of burns, on prime of quite a few different minor accidents. The 25-year-old is claimed to be steady and has already been moved out of the ICU.
