'Don't watch cricket, didn't know he was Rishabh Pant': Bus driver who rescued star cricketer
Roorkee/IBNS: The bus driver, who rescued Indian cricketer Rishabh Pant after the latter met with an accident in Roorkee, has said he couldn't recognise the star wicketkeeper-batter on the spot.
Sushil Mann, a Haryana Roadways bus driver, was among the people who took Pant out of the Mercedes SUV after it crashed into the road divider.
Mann said as quoted by NDTV, "I put my bus on the side and quickly ran towards the divider.
"I thought the car would flip under the bus as it was turning over and over before it stopped," Mann said and added, "The driver (Mr Pant) was half out of the window. He told me he's a cricketer."
"I don't watch cricket and I didn't know he was Rishabh Pant. But others in my bus recognised him," the driver added.
Haryana Roadways had later honoured Sushil and his co-passenger Paramjeet for rescuing the cricketer.
