A Gesture of Gratitude: Rishabh Pant gifts scooters to life-saving duo | Cricket News
NEW DELHI: Rishabh Pant garnered significant attention in the media for his generous gesture. He presented scooters to Rajat Kumar and Nishu Kumar, the two men who helped him after his life-threatening road accident in December 2022.
A viral clip on social media shows two young men riding the scooters gifted to them by Pant. He has frequently expressed his gratitude towards Rajat and Nishu for their life-saving intervention during that dreadful incident.
“I may not have been able to thank everyone individually, but I must acknowledge these two heroes who helped me during my accident and ensured I got to the hospital safely.

Rajat Kumar & Nishu Kumar, Thank you. I’ll be forever grateful and indebted,” Pant had posted on X in January last year.
Now in Perth for the first Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia, Pant, while talking to a Fox Cricket commentator, described how things have changed after the life-threatening accident.
On being asked that what he has learnt from the experience, Pant says, “I think one of the few most important things is like more gratitude in life, yes I would say cricket is part of it, but you are looking at things with a different perspective, because whatever that’s happening in life is good, we are thinking life is not happening this way or that way, whatever happens in life is for good, that’s the only thing, that’s how I look at it. So more gratitude, more humble, more hungry, that’s what I’ll say.”
On his different approach to wicket-keeping in Perth, Pant says, “I think I have to stand a long way back but it’s much better than wicket-keeping on the rank turners (in India). I wouldn’t say easier, but when you’ve just finished your wicket-keeping on rank turners, this would be a better one for sure.”
