After recovering from a near-fatal car accident in December 2022, "box office" cricketer Rishabh Pant is expected to make a successful comeback in 2024, according to former England captain Nasser Hussain.

Pant was in a terrible car accident on that fateful night. Since then, the wicketkeeper-batter has advanced significantly, and it is likely that he will play cricket again before the T20 World Cup in the United States and the West Indies.


You watch what I do on social media, on my phone, and from the first few steps on foot to scenes in the gym, to scenes where Pant plays a little cricket, and to scenes where he hangs out with Ricky Ponting. Ricky was texting him during our summer trip through the 2023 Ashes, asking how things were going with his progress. Hussain informed the ICC, "And he's a box office cricketer."

KL Rahul, who took over for Pant during his absence, performed admirably at the most recent ODI World Cup, amassing 452 runs at an average of 75.33. India is fortunate to possess both of them. However, Hussain said, "Pant was box office before his injury and hopefully will be box office after his injury as well."
