NEW DELHI: Many eyebrows were raised when Rishabh Pant was chosen over KL Rahul as the first-choice wicketkeeper-batsman for India's T20 World Cup squad, but it did't cause any hiccups as India lifted the T20 World Cup undefeated.
Pant was involved in a high-speed accident on the Delhi-Dehradun highway on the night of December 30, 2022. His car caught fire, but he made a fortunate escape despite suffering severe injuries.
