India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant is not convinced about the concept of work-life balance. Instead, he believes youngsters must challenge themselves by working hard now and think of relaxing later in life. The attacking batter emphasised that the COVID-19 pandemic has changed his approach towards life and made him more serious.
“Nowadays, we talk about work-life balance, but I think people need to understand that first you need to work hard, go crazy about your work, and then there will be a time in life when you can relax and chill. But as a youngster, the best thing to do is push your limits because there is a lot of time to recover,” Pant, who was announced as SBI Life’s brand ambassador along with India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja said during a function at a city hotel on Monday night.
