Xtra Time Web Desk: Rishabh Pant is well known for his powerful batting, fearlessly taking on bowlers of all calibers. His valour in the war of 22 yards in known to all. Yet, off the field, he’s simply a compassionate 24-year-old. His kindness shone through when he sincerely apologized through a video which is going viral at present, to a cameraperson who ended up in the hospital. He was unintentionally struck by one of Rishabh’s shots. As for the cameraperson’s current condition, updates are awaited.

But who is this cameraperson?

In an exclusive conversation with Xtra Time, the camera person Debasish Bhattacherjee who is a BCCI production crew member said, “Such incident hasn’t happened before in my almost 40 years of experience. You might have seen that a six hit by Rishab Pant in yesterday’s match directly hit my finger. I was standing in the backside of Rishab, in the mid-wicket at that point. I was on another shot, that’s why I wasn’t following the ball. But had I followed it, this mishap wouldn’t have happened, but can’t say. The ball directly hit my index figure which I was using for focusing, it was very unexpecting. But whatever happened has happened. The medical support over there was really good, they supported me with first aid, stitched happened on spot. Then they transferred to me to the super facility hospital for further treatment. They we’ll keep me under 72 hours treatment. Let’s see what happens.
