"You Get Frustrated When You Are Injured For A Long Time," Says Rishabh Pant Post Recovery

Delhi Capitals skipper Rishabh Pant has said his love for cricket has gone up after his recovery from injuries suffered during a car accident and that he feels happy on being able to the ground every day. The noted wicketkeeper-batter missed the IPL 2023 after suffering multiple injuries in a horrific car accident on December 30, 2022. He will take part in this year's Indian Premier League.

It's boring. You have to do the same stuff and see the same people at the end of the day. But the more boring you do the more better you get," Pant said in a video posted by BCCI on Saturday.

The southpaw further spoke about the treatment that he got at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru. He said that after a particular time, a person starts getting frustrated as he is fighting his injury for a long time.

"People around in NCA are very welcoming all the time...it's easier said than done I would say because you are feeling frustrated and at the same time they take it in a good sense as I was going through a tough time. Everyone wants you to recover but at the same time, you are not in the same mood. You get frustrated when you are injured for a long time," the Delhi-born cricketer asserted.

"The people of NCA are supportive. I asked them instead of staying in a hotel, can I stay in a house because I used to wake up late in the morning. It took me time to adjust to it and they were very welcoming to it that don't worry, we will do the session in the
