"Genuine Advice": Dhawan On Video Of Him Telling Pant To Drive Carefully

Indian cricket fans woke up to a piece of horrible news on December 30, 2022, when Rishabh Pant was involved in a car crash while driving from New Delhi to Roorkee. Though his vehicle got damaged completely, the star India wicketkeeper-batter miraculously escaped. Pant is currently recovering and recently even posted a video of him walking again. Several former cricketers have been meeting and wishing him well. 

After the car crash, one particular video went viral where Pant's India and former Delhi Capitals teammate Shikhar Dhawan could be seen telling him about driving carefully. One advice that you would give me." Pant can be heard saying in the video. "Garo aaram se chalaya kar (Drive your car carefully)," came the reply from Dhawan.

Now, Dhawan has reacted to the video going viral after Pant's accident.

"First of all, I am happy that Rishabh survived the accident and is recovering well. I keep talking to him. I had seen him drive once and I told him to drive carefully when he interviewed me. I didn't even remember that, but somehow that went viral on social media. I had given him genuine advice, from the heart, asking him to drive carefully," Dhawan said on Aaj Tak.

"When you are 20-21, everyone has that enthusiasm. Rishabh Pant is not the only one who has driven rashly. I also did it when I was of that age. Many other youngsters would have done the same. It's important to rein in that adrenaline. I gave him advice a bit late, but yes I did give it to him."

Sanju Samson's Act Minutes After T20 World Cup Selection Wins Hearts

April 8, 2008. Sanju Samson, then a skinny 14-year-old, curled on the bed in his hotel room, watched Kolkata Knight Riders' Brendon McCullum hammering a 73-ball 158 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the first-ever IPL match. That drizzly evening in Kottayam, a town in central Kerala, changed his heart. Forever. Sanju reshuffled his career dream, from wanting to become a civil servant to entering the elite world of a top-flight cricketer. "Sanju always recollects that day, which gave him the dream of reaching that league of top players one day," said former Kerala player Raiphi Vincent Gomez, also a close friend of the wicketkeeper batter. But merely having a dream will not take anyone to the top of their profession, more so in sports. Sanju then had oodles of determination too to walk down his chosen path. Biju George, the former India women's cricket team's fielding coach and the early mentor of the Kerala player, saw that brightly flickering flame inside...

"We Talk About Kohli, Babar But...": Akram's Ultimate Praise For Rohit

"There's no player like Rohit Sharma in international cricket. We talk about Virat Kohli, Joe Root, Kane Williamson and Babar Azam but this guy is different. He makes batting look so easy no matter what the opposition or bowling attack," said Akram. "He's a kind of batter who will hit all five opposition bowler...
