Young cricketers should take a lesson

The 1983 World Cup-winning captain said, “It is a lesson for young cricketers. When I was a budding cricketer, I had to face a motorcycle accident. From that day onwards, my brother did not even let me touch the motorcycle. I am just thankful to God that Rishabh Pant is safe. He said, yes, you have a good car, which is very fast, but you have to be careful. You can easily afford the driver, you don’t need to drive it alone. I understand that one also has a fondness or passion for such things. It is natural to be like this at his age, but you also have responsibilities. Only you can take care of yourself. You have to decide things for yourself.
