On December 30, 2022, India wicketkeeper batter Rishabh Pant met with a severe accident while traveling from Delhi to Roorkee. He was going home in the wee hours of the day. However, while trying to avoid a pothole, the left-hander collided with a divider, and his vehicle turned into a ball of fire. However, he was saved by a truck driver and other villagers on time.
Meanwhile, Ishan Kishan, Pant’s teammate from the India U19 days, was playing for Jharkhand in the ongoing Ranji Trophy 2022-23. During the game against Services, he crossed the boundary rope to click selfies with the fans using their mobile phones. Meanwhile, a fan told him about Pant’s accident. In reply, the former India U19 skipper was shocked and said “kya” (what).
After a few seconds, the Jharkhand player added “Kya baat kar rahe ho yaar” (What are you saying guys!) The video of the moment was shared by a fan on social media.

Ishan is playing in the ongoing Ranji Trophy for his state team, Jharkhand. The team won their recent game against Services. Batting first, Services amassed 367 all-out. In reply, the home team amassed 551/8 and declared the innings. In the second innings, Services could only score 214, setting a meager target of 31 runs for the home team. They won by nine wickets with Kishan opening the batting in the second innings.
In both innings, he scored 13 runs each. Meanwhile, talking about Pant, he is likely to be away from the game for a while. As per AIIMS, he is set to miss the game for three to six months as his ligament tear would take this much time to recover. Also, the other injuries are also serious, and will be interesting to see how much time he takes to recover.
