T20 World Cup: 'Had Tears When Heard About Pant's Accident', Reveals Shastri
Nassau County International Cricket Stadium: Former India head coach Ravi Shastri was called in the dressing room to hand over the best fielder medal to Rishabh Pant after the side’s crucial six-run win over Pakistan in the T20 World Cup match and revealed that he had tears in his eyes when he heard about the wicketkeeper-batter's life-threatening car accident in December 2022.
In Sunday’s low-scoring thriller at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, Pant scored a crucial 42 off 31 balls, despite not getting his timing in the initial stage of his knock and being dropped four times. With the keeping gloves, Pant took three sharp catches to be adjudged best Indian fielder in the game against Pakistan.
"All I say for Rishabh. But first of all, brilliant performance and great character shown by guys. But I had tears in my eyes when I heard about his accident. When I saw him in hospital, it was even worse. Then for him to come back from there and be back in the A-zone playing one of the biggest games of all time, India vs Pakistan, is heartwarming," said Shastri in a video posted on bcci.tv.
