Colkata:
On Monday, Richab Pant admitted the influence and direction of Ashish a river after he survived his horrific car accident, saying that the previous advice of Samar India “staying happy” stood the goalkeeper in a good situation during a difficult stage. Pant met with the accident on the Delhi Diaradon Highway on the night of December 30, 2022. “I think one of the tips that really helped me was from Ashish Nehra,” Pant recalls a free conversation during the interactive session of the Eastern Region – India@100: The vision of leadership from the sports economy. “
“It is too big from my club. He just came to me, he saw me, and told me,” I have suffered a lot of injuries. Only one thing if you can keep yourself happy. Do the things that make you feel happy. And he continued to continue this. “
“I think this advice was standing with me and helped me go to my injury,” Bant, 27, added.
After a year of intense recovery and rehabilitation, he returned to the professional cricket game during the Indian Premier League last year and the International T20 World Cup in the Americas.
For a person who preferred to do everything alone, the loss of control of his body was the most difficult thing to digest.
“I was playing the cricket game day and day since I was a child. My vision only is not excited in my life – this was the most difficult part,” he said.
“So, even a small thing, was brushing my teeth, it was more difficult in my life. I couldn’t do it for at least one month.” Pant realized at that moment that he needed to surrender to this process.
“I must accept that I cannot move from this in one or two days. This is where I calmed down and realized that there is no negative benefit and criticizing yourself every day.
“For me, eating may be. For someone else, he may talk to someone. So you have to find your own way.”
Glory for everything
The accident changed his view of life.
“Once your view of life changes, the sport perspective definitely changes. Because how you see life, you will follow that in the end,” he said.
Pant realizes how people often take most of the things in life.
“Simple things like waking up every day, cleaning your teeth with brushing, walking towards your bathroom … small small things but play a big role. As a daily life, we take it for granted. I think this is my learning from it.” For a professional crochet player, success in running, weeks and records is often measured, but the pant brush with the accident near the deadly reshapes his definition to him.
“You want to be successful every day. But it mayn’t happen much in sport,” he said.
“But this does not mean that you will win the bush and always put you. You must have a mentality as you pay yourself.” Yes, I can be better.
Pant, which is going through a meager correction in the continuous IPL, has a simple philosophy to deal with difficult times: support the process and confidence instincts.
“We must follow a specific process and this is part of my daily life,” he said.
“When you keep it very simple, as if you were watching a share, how you’ll play, and what this striking man will do, and what we can do better.
“MS DHONI) said, if you can keep it simple for a longer period of time, I think you will get the fair result.” He added: “I am a person who allows this instinct to seize during the time of the game. Because, in cases of pressure, what happens is that you do not support your decision at times. So I feel this is really important to me.” For Pant, the leadership revolves around keeping the team like one large family.
The word “team” means only one family. We are always talking about how we can create an environment in which everyone feels comfortable.
“A team for me is similar to getting one goal – team people have one goal and work towards one goal.” Cricket has also taught him to support people during their worst days.
“Every person in the field will not have the largest day. But at that moment, can you give this man enough confidence, so that he can deliver it? As you know, one ball is important. Something is unusual. One is unusual.
