Pant's visit to the Badrinath Dham created a lot of buzz among the visitors who jostled to get a glimpse of the star Indian cricketer. Many visitors were seen clicking pictures and selfies with their smartphones with the Indian cricketer. Sources said that Rishabh Pant was planning to visit Lord Kedarnath during his treatment in the hospital.
But the doctors had clearly refused him that he was not yet fit to go to the mountains. Pant, who has been sweating in net practice and gym for the last several days, has now recovered to a great extent. After paying obeisance at the Badrinath Dham in Uttarakhand, he can also be seen practicing regularly in the field.
Pant had recently taken part in a friendly match. Sources said that Pant's family wants him to recover as soon as possible and become a part of the Indian team. MLA Umesh Sharma, who accompanied Pant to Badrinath Dham said that the way Pant has rebuilt himself after the accident, shows his resolve and determiantion.
