Team India's wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant was sailing smoothly in his career until the end of 2022 when a horrific car accident changed everything. Since then, Pant has been striving to get his life back on track. Despite his near-death experience in the accident, Pant made a comeback to professional cricket more than a year later, starting with the IPL 2024 season where he resumed his captaincy for Delhi Capitals and aimed to secure a spot in the Indian team for the T20 World Cup 2024.
While fans are well aware of Pant's cricketing career and his journey, not everyone may know about his involvement with charitable foundations and his efforts to help the underprivileged.

Association with NGOs during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Known for his jovial demeanour on the cricket field and powerful batting, Rishabh Pant also extends help to many off the field. When COVID-19 wreaked havoc in India and around the world, Pant donated an undisclosed amount to Hemkunt Foundation, a non-governmental organization (NGO) based in Gurugram. He also pledged to continue supporting the foundation. Hemkunt Foundation played a crucial role in providing aid to COVID-19 patients by arranging beds, oxygen cylinders, and other medical supplies, ultimately saving many lives.
Contribution during the Uttarakhand Disaster
Pant, who hails from Uttarakhand, didn't hesitate to lend a helping hand to his home state during the Chamoli district disaster in 2021. When a glacier burst led to the loss of nearly 150 lives, Pant announced that he would donate his match fee from the Test match against England, which was scheduled to be played in Chennai, to aid the flood-affected people. His gesture reflected his commitment to assisting those in need, even amidst his professional commitments.
