Legendary Indian cricketer Kapil Dev shared his opinion on Rishabh Pant's horrific car accident and said that a top cricketer like Pant who can easily afford a driver should not be driving alone.

"Yes, you have a good-looking car with great speeds but you have to be careful. You can easily afford a driver, you don't have to drive it alone. I understand that one has hobbies or even passion for such things, it's natural to have it at his age, but you also have responsibilities. Only you can take care of yourself. You have to decide things for yourself," Kapil Dev said in an interview.

The 1983 World Cup-winning captain was speaking from his own experience as the 63-year-old recollected his motorcycle accident during his early cricketing days after which his brother did not let him go near a motorbike.

Pant suffered two cuts on his forehead, a ligament tear in his right knee, and multiple burns after his accident.
