As he continues his long road to recovery, Rishabh Pant had a surprise visitor in flamboyant former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh. The star Indian wicketkeeper was on his way to pay his mother a surprise visit and celebrate new year's with her before his car crashed into a divider, flipped, and caught fire. Before the vehicle bursted into flames, Pant miraculously managed to escape with the help of few locals.

'This champion is going to rise again', Yuvraj said of Pant after meeting the latter, who is recovering from the multiple injuries he suffered during a horrific road accident.
