Rishabh Pant steps onto the field for the first time since accident

A week prior, Pant paid a visit to a sports facility near Bengaluru to partake in Independence Day festivities organized by the JSW Foundation, a co-owner of the Delhi Capitals cricket team. Rishabh Pant stepped onto the field for the first time since his accident and was seen hitting some huge sixes in a friendly match in Bengaluru.

However, India captain Rohit Sharma has confirmed that while the keeper-batter is making a positive stride towards full fitness, his selection in the Men in Blue side is still a long time away as Pant is far from being fully fit.

During the event, Pant also fervently encouraged individuals to continue deriving joy from sports.
