In an interview with the Times of India (TOI), Pant mentioned that being in touch with his spiritual self had a big part to play in his return to cricket. “You become more disciplined if you are spiritual. It’s a personal choice. It helped me concentrate on myself,” said Pant.

The India batter was travelling to his hometown of Roorkee to surprise his mother on the occasion of New Year. However, he dozed off and hit the divider with the car overspeeding. The vehicle rolled over and was caught in flames. That’s when the wicket-keeper batter had to break the windshield and save himself.

The Delhi-based player was relieved to learn that he got away with only a knee injury from the horrific accident The 26-year-old added, “When my accident happened, I felt something spiritual saved me. With the kind of accident I had, I only got my knee injured but I can’t even imagine how much worse it could have been”.

The left-hander last played an international match during the second Test against Bangladesh at Mirpur where he had scored 93 in the first innings. Pant also revealed that there were conversations regarding an amputation but remains grateful for having a chance to get back on the field. He said,” Doctors even spoke to me about amputation. I always thought about God. This has given a different view altogether. I know someone is watching over me.”
