Watch: Rishabh Pant Marks His On-Field Return With Effortless Flick Six

One of India's finest cricketers from the modern generation, Rishabh Pant hit the field for the first time since his car crash last year, taking forward steps in hi road to recovery. Pant, who was involved in a serious road accident on December 30 last year, was seen playing cricket event was organised by Delhi Capitals' co-owner Parth Jindal's company, JSW. As fans cherished his return to action on August 15, a few videos of the left-hander playing some beautiful shots spread like wildfire on the Internet. One of the videos showed Pant hitting a trademark flick six.

At the event, Pant encouraged people to keep enjoying sports.

"Once you keep growing older, you stop loving the game. One of the reasons is that there is a lot of pressure; you want to excel in life and do this and that.

"But enjoyment nahi miss karna hein life mein, (Don't miss enjoyment in life)," Pant said in a video shared by Sangita Jindal, chairperson of JSW Foundation.

Pant is contractually a Delhi Capitals player in the Indian Premier League but didn't feature for the side this season in the T20 league due to his accident. While these are still early days, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had recently given an update on the wicket-keeper batter's fitness, suggesting he has made a remarkable recovery.

"He (Pant) has made significant progress in his rehabilitation and has commenced batting as well as keeping in the nets.

"He is currently following a fitness programme designed for him which includes strength, flexibility and running," BCCI had said in a statement.

Pant is definately not in contention for the upcoming Asia Cup and the World Cup but if his rapid recovery pace continues, the Delhi-lad could be seen in action at some point next year.

Having consistently generated speed in excess of 150kmph in his maiden IPL earlier this year, Mayank had drawn the attention of the cricketing world before a side strain ruled him out of the tournament. Usually, one has to prove fitness in domestic cricket to be considered for national selection but the 22-year-old has been fast-tracked into the side considering his special talent. The series against Bangladesh will be a test of his fitness and temperament. It is yet to be figured if he can display the same accuracy and control that he exhibited in the IPL. Besides Mayank, fellow Delhi pacer Harshit Rana and all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy could also make their India debut over the course of the series. Nitish was picked for the Zimbabwe tour post the T...

The panel dropped former captain Babar Azam when they announced the squad for the remaining two Tests against England in Multan and Rawalpindi. Zaman took to X to question the decision, inviting the ire of the PCB. "The top board officials are not pleased with the tweet sent out by Fakhar and relevant persons are having a word with him about it," a well-informed PCB source said.

Sri Lanka vs Netherlands LIVE Updates, T20 World Cup 2024: Netherlands may be out of the 2024 T20 World Cup even before their match against Sri Lanka ends, if Bangladesh beat Nepal.

The game also offers Sri Lanka a chance to get their first win, in what has been a hugely disappointing tournament for the 2014 champions.
