India star, Rishabh Pant's return to the Indian blues was long-awaited by his fellow teammates and all his fans. Ever since, his unfortunate accident in December 2022, he has undeniably come a very long way in terms of both growth and recovery.

During his interview with Rajat Sharma on India's famous news show, Aap Ki Adalat, Pant recently revealed that he was at the verge of never being able to play cricket as the doctor suggested that he would have had to get his knee amputated. 

However, due to 'three' miracles by the grace of god; he was able to dodge the big bullet and continue on his road to recovery.

Watch the video here:



"He (Pardiwala) came to me and said, 'Rishabh, look, you need 3 miracles. You have already done two miracles. Firstly, you are alive after the crash, that's in itself is a miracle, Secondly, my right knee had dislocated 90 degrees to the right, and after the crash, with the help of a person, I got the knee back in place. 

Dr Pardiwala told me if I had not done that, my knee could have been amputated. The third miracle was to allow the ligaments to heal on their own without undergoing ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) and PCL (posterior cruciate ligament) surgeries," Pant added.

He further explained that his ligaments were badly torn and there was nothing left:

 "My ligaments were badly torn, nothing was left. The doctor said the third miracle would be if there are no surgeries. I told him "Sir, please don't take tension. I will do this...Ultimately, the miracle happened. The doctor told me, that in only a few out of several lakh cases, ACL and PCL heal on their own. And God Was Very Kind In This. Both ACL and PCL healed on their own," he added.

He also talked about how he felt when he stood on his feet and took his first steps without anyone's help and said:

"Three months after the crash, I stood up without any help for the first time. For three months, it was not possible, and I managed with only one leg. My ankle was also broken. I could not keep my foot on the floor. When I showered for the first time after the crash, it was an amazing feeling.

He was assisted by Dr Dinshaw Pardiwala, a member of the Medical Committee of ICC, during his entire road to recovery. It is largely because of his efforts that we get to see the batter represent the country once again.
