Pant gives fans much-needed update on his fitness

Pant reflects on his fortune to be alive and shares insights into the initial physical challenges. Pant also expresses gratitude for the overwhelming support during his recovery and shares his recovery process.

In an interview given to Delhi Capitals he said, "The kind of accident I had, [I'm] lucky to be alive," he said. "I think it was very challenging, especially the first part I would say more from a physical point of view because in the starting there was a lot of pain to be endured. But just looking at the journey till now, I think it's been going really well from a recovery point of view. I felt like I couldn't face people and all, and I felt like I had to do something which gives me confidence."

"I think [I'm] much better [compared to] what I was doing a few months ago," he said in a video posted by Capitals on Instagram. "Still on recovery to 100%, but hopefully in a few months' time I'll be able to do that. It's been really amazing because whenever we are playing, we feel no one loves us because there is always pressure and so many things. Yes, it's a hard time but I came to know people love us, respect us and the kind of appreciation and concern people have shown over a period of time because of my injury.

"It was heartfelt - crazy for me - because it means a lot as an individual when you're going through a very rough time. It's not only physical [recovery], it's mentally also and if your supporters and the people support you and love you, it means a lot, and it really helps in recovery."
