Rishabh Pant had to undergo immense difficult times while he was recovering from his injury. Pant underwent marathon surgeries and his many bones were broken as well. While, many cricket experts had predicted his cricket career almost over, the latter made a brilliant return to competitive cricket during the Indian Premier League 2024 and later in the T20 World Cup.
