WATCH: Rishabh Pant shows impressive signs of recovery with water therapy; sends inspiring message
Rishabh Pant suffered a horrific car accident, ruling him out of cricketing activities for most of the year. Meanwhile, he is on a steady road to recovery, as lately, he has been undergoing water therapy to improve his walking abilities.
FollowYoung Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant suffered a horrible car crash earlier this year while driving during the wee hours on the Delhi-Dehradun highway. While he was lucky to have escaped from a life-threatening accident, it was still severe enough to inflict significant injuries on him and rule him out of cricketing activities for most of the year.
Since then, Pant has undergone treatment in Dehradun before undergoing surgeries in Mumbai, and he is on a steady road to recovery. While he has been showing promising signs of improvement, as he has begun to walk on crutches and with the help of a walking stick, his latest therapy is the most encouraging sign of recovery.
