"Gratitude towards life has increased a lot"- Rishabh Pant on his thought process after car accident
Speaking to the Times of India, Rishabh Pant recently opened up how spirituality helped him during his recovery process. He said:
"You become more disciplined if you are spiritual. It’s a personal choice. It helped me concentrate on myself. When my accident happened, I felt something spiritual saved me. With the kind of accident I had, I only got my knee injured but I can’t even imagine how much worse it could have been. Doctors even spoke to me about amputation. I always thought about God."
He added:
"This has given a different view altogether. I know someone is watching over me. Even if I want to, I can’t delete that incident. I tried not thinking or regretting it too much so that it didn’t upset me all the time. I tried to keep it light. I wanted to retain my identity. I never felt like I had to change drastically. You want to add things that help you. Gratitude towards life has increased a lot. You start appreciating small things about life."
Rishabh Pant-led Delhi Capitals' IPL 2024 campaign will begin on March 23 against Punjab Kings.
