"All of us are waiting to see him hit those sixes"- Parthiv Patel on Rishabh Pant

Former Indian cricketer Parthiv Patel recently expressed his excitement to witness the comeback of Rishabh Pant after a lengthy hiatus. Patel said that he has observed a change in Pant's thought process after the accident.

Speaking to Jio Cinema on the matter, Patel said:

"Rishabh Pant is really positive. He talks more about gratitude and looks at life differently after the incident. He is doing his keeping drills, but that will take time. You know he is a blockbuster player; he does something or the other on the field, wins matches for his team. You just want to see him all the time, whether it’s him smiling or keeping and chirping from behind the stumps, he is a really good package."

He continued:

"He has recovered really well from the accident. All of us are waiting to see him hit those sixes, however it’s not easy, however experienced you are. Staying away from the game for such a long time, it’s not easy to come back to form straight away. His comeback depends on his mental preparation and toughness."
