“The kind of accident I had, [I’m] lucky to be alive,” Pant recounted in an interview to IPL ahead of the auction. “I think it was very challenging, especially the first part I would say more from a physical point of view because in the starting there was a lot of pain to be endured. But just looking at the journey till now, I think it’s been going really well from a recovery point of view. I felt like I couldn’t face people and all, and I felt like I had to do something which gives me confidence.”
Pant was present at the auction, while Dhoni was not. Both players would be leading their respective franchises.
Meanwhile, a total of 72 players were sold with all the 30 overseas slots fully filled and a total amount of Rs 2,30,45,00,000 were spent during the auction.
