Rishabh Pant has been at the NCA for the past few weeks, trying to get back to his best. The 25-year-old had a near-death experience in a horrific car crash late in December last year. He has since undergone surgery, and began walking without support some days back.

While he continues to make progress on a personal front, Pant shared some life lessons with the younger generation. The left-hander took some time out and interacted with the Under-16 high-performance camp at NCA Bangalore. The Delhi Capitals ace spoke about cricket but also gave the young boys perspective on life, hard work and much more.

Pant was still wearing support on his knee and there is still a limp in his walk. The 25-year-old is a long way back from a return to the field. Rishabh needs at least 6-7 months more to completely recover and return, as previously reported by Insidesport.IN
Whether or not he returns as a wicket-keeper remains to be seen. Pant suffered serious damage to his knee, and it is unclear whether his body can take the burden of keeping anymore. Rishabh however will hope to build his fitness to return behind the stumps, but a comeback as a pure batter is not ruled out.
