He also talked about how the doctor said it would take 16 to 18 months to recover and he told the doctor whatever timeline he gives him, he will reduce six months from it. Rishabh Pant on his recovery after the life-threatening accident “I am focusing on recovery, cut off from the world. It helps me recover fast, especially when the injury is so serious.

For recovery, you have to do the same thing every day. It’s boring, it’s irritating, it’s frustrating, but you have to do it,” he said in the interview conducted in August last year. “Till the time I start playing cricket, I don’t want to plan much for the future. I asked the doctor how long will it take for me to recover. I told him that everybody is speaking different things, but you will give me the most clarity about it. “He said it would take 16 to 18 months. I told the doctor from whatever timeline you give me, I will reduce six months from it.

First time in my life I had that feeling of letting it go. I felt my time in this world was over. It was the first time I had such a feeling in life. At the time of the accident, I was aware of the wounds, but I was lucky as it could have been even more serious,” Pant further stated.
