The star Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant is out of action from international cricket since December 2022 when he met a horrific road accident on the Delhi-Dehradun Highway near Roorkee. Later on, he was rushed to various hospitals before the Indian Cricket Board decided to airlift him from Uttarakhand to the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Hospital in Mumbai.
Now, the 25-year-old has posted a picture of himself celebrating the festival of Holi. Pant posted a picture of him playing Holi on his official Twitter handle. Notably, it is the second festival after Lohri in January since the young batter met the accident.
“Bura na Maano, Holi hai !! Happy Holi to everyone. May the colors of Holi brighten your lives with happiness and all you wish for,” wrote Rishabh Pant in the caption of the photo he uploaded to the micro-blogging site Twitter.
Here's a look at the Holi-picture Rishabh Pant posted :

Talking about cricket, the cricket fans and the Indian cricket team are badly missing Rishabh Pant in the ongoing four-match Test series against Australia. Notably, it was none other than Rishabh Pant who shone for India to beat Australia by a margin of 2-1 in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2020-21.
He also finished the match for India while guiding the team to a remarkable win in the historic Gabba Test on the 19th of January, 2021.
Last time, the Delhi southpaw was in action for the Indian cricket team in the two-match Test series against Bangladesh last year in December 2022.
Coming back to his accident, Pant was treated under the supervision of the official medical team of the Indian Cricket Board including a knee surgery; as he tore all three ligaments of his right knee during the accident.
