In his first public comments after his serious car accident on the Delhi-Dehradun highway near Roorkee on the night of December 30, cricketer Rishabh Pant has thanked the "two heroes" who helped him get timely treatment at a hospital. Pant said he is "forever grateful and indebted" to them.
The wicketkeeper-batsman also said that his surgery was successful and the road to recovery had begun. "I am ready for the challenges ahead," he added.
Pant's car had collided with a divider and caught fire, and the 25-year-old suffered multiple injuries in the crash. He suffered cuts on his forehead, a ligament tear in his right knee and also had abrasion injuries on his back.
Soon after the crash, Pant was rescued from the wreckage of the vehicle by passersby and immediately admitted to a local hospital.
"I may not have been able to thank everyone individually, but I must acknowledge these two heroes who helped me during my accident and ensured I got to the hospital safely. Rajat Kumar & Nishu Kumar, Thank you. I'll be forever grateful and indebted," Pant tweeted on Monday night.
