Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant made a social media appearance for the first time since his tragic accident and informed his well-wishers about his successful surgery. Pant sustained severe serious injuries in the accident, and as a result has been ruled out of multiple India series as well as the Indian Premier League 2023.
The young batter, who survived a deadly car crash on December 30, is expected to be out of action for most of 2023. He was driving the car himself and hit the divider which led to the collision. His car caught fire, but the cricketer was rescued by the locals and was taken to a nearby hospital in Dehradun.
After almost two weeks from the accident, Pant shared a note on his official Instagram account on Monday, January 16, evening and wrote:
“I am humbled and grateful for all the support and good wishes. Just wanted to let everyone know that my surgery was successful and I am grateful to be on the road to recovery. My spirits are high, and I am feeling better every day and I want to extend my gratitude to all of you for your kind words, support, and positive energy during this difficult time.”

"I am humbled and grateful for all the support and good wishes. I am glad to let you know that my surgery was a success. The road to recovery has begun and I am ready for the challenges ahead.
