Rishabh Pant and Shikhar Dhawan
Star wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant met with a horrific car accident near Haridwar in Uttarakhand on the Friday morning of December 30. After the incident made headlines, an old video of fellow cricketer Shikhar Dhawan advising the young wicketkeeper has been doing rounds on the internet. It’s Q & A video from the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019 when both played for the Delhi Capitals.
In the video, Pant asked Dhawan about any advice he would like to give him. To which, Dhawan said, “Gaadi aaram se chalaya kar” (you should drive carefully).” That old video was posted by a user on Twitter with the caption: “Shikhar Dhawan gave Rishabh Pant the right advice about driving.”
Watch the video below:
Pant recently played the two-match Test series in Bangladesh which India won 2-0. In one innings, he scored a brilliant 93 runs. After the series, he was even spotted with MS Dhoni in Dubai.
He returned from Dubai on Thursday and was on his way to Roorkee, his hometown, from New Delhi. According to the police, Pant had dozed off in his Mercedes and completely lost control of the car. The speeding car then hit a pile of soil before crashing into the divider and getting engulfed in fire. He broke a window and got out of the car.
