Ahead of IND vs SL 1st T20I Team India players miss Rishabh Pant, wish him speedy recovery; watch

Team India wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant recently survived a horrific car crash in the wee hours of Friday morning as he was travelling from Delhi to his home town Rourkee. The 25-year-old's car crashed with a divider, and he sustained multiple injuries. Given the situation, ahead of the first match of Team India on Tuesday, BCCI shared a heartfelt video of Indian players wishing Pant a speedy recovery. 

The video showed head coach Rahul Dravid, stand-in skipper Hardik Pandya, his deputy Suryakumar Yadav, and the likes of Yuzvendra Chahal, Shubman Gill, and Ishan Kishan all sharing their thoughts about Pant. 

While Dravid mentioned that Pant has been a fighter with many valiant knocks that he has played in Test cricket of late, bailing the side out on multiple occasions, he wished the southpaw a quick recovery.

Suryakumar Yadav stated that everyone was missing Pant in Mumbai where the Indian team will take on Sri Lanka for the first T20I of the three-match series on January 3.
