Rishabh Pant arrives in Dubai and offers a big update on his health

The extent of Rishabh Pant's car accident had a lot of concern over his health and career. But the keeper-batter made a miraculous recovery and could be in action soon. Reports have said that Pant will be in action for IPL 2024 as an Impact Player, indicating that there is still some skepticism around the situation. 

In a video shared by the Delhi Capitals on social media, Pant offered a positive update on his health. He also opened up on his road to recovery and the support he has received so far.

'I think much better what I was doing a few months ago so like still on recovery to 100 per cent. But hopefully in a few months time I'll be able to do it,' Rishabh Pant said

'I think it's been really amazing because whenever we keep on playing cricket we feel no one loves us because there is always pressure in so many things. But actually yes, it's a hard time. But I got to know at least people love us. They respect us and the kind of appreciation and the kind of concern I would say people have shown over a period of time because of my injury.'

Pant added, 'I think it was heartfelt, like crazy for me because it means a lot as an individual. When you are going through a very rough time or something like that happens to you. It's not only physical, it's like mentally also and if your supporters and the people support you or show you love, it means a lot and it's it really helps in recovering, I guess.'
