Pant was operated on by Indian cricket board’s ( While airlifting him from Dehradun to Mumbai, the BCCI had mentioned that Pant had suffered ligament tears but didn’t specify the extent of the injury. Sources said Pant’s return to match fitness could take more than four months now. “He already had a niggle on his right knee. He was supposed to be at the NCA this week for strengthening sessions.

India's wicketkeeper batter Rishabh Pant, who is currently undergoing treatment in Mumbai for the injuries he sustained in a car accident last month, is likely to be discharged from the hospital in two weeks, as per reports. Pant has successfully undergone surgeries for his ligament injuries and continues to recover. However, even after his discharge he will have to undergo a period of rehabilitation before he can make a comeback on the cricket field. A report carried by Times of India suggests that while Pant had sustained injuries on all his ligaments only one was medically operated and the others will be allowed to heal naturally. The medical experts currently supervising Pant's health don't want the stumper to undergo anymore surgeries. "All the ligaments were injured. The Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) is a cause of concern. The doctors said that Medial Collateral Ligament (MCL) surgery was absolutely necessary. Now, his PCL will be assessed in two weeks. Hopefully, it will not need any further surgery. As of now, he essentially has undergone just one major surgery," a BCCI source told TOI. As per this report, rehab will begin only after the ligaments heal which could take a period of around six weeks. However, his health will be assessed after two months. In all likelihood though, Pant's return to cricketing action is unlikely before at least 4-6 months as the Delhi Capitals captain will also have to take counselling sessions prior to that. The road to recovery ha...

Pant who is recovering from a horrific car accident, recently talked about how he was looking at life from a new perspective and is enjoying all the little things. In an interview to IANS, he had said: “I am much better now and making some good progress with my recovery.

Everyone today is hustling and working extremely hard to achieve something special, but we’ve forgotten to enjoy the little things which give us joy every single day,” he added.

Star Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant, who has been out of action due to multiple injuries that he suffered in a road accident last year, has begun his rehabilitation programme at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru. The 25-year-old stumper, who is likely to miss the 2023 ODI World Cup, took to Instagram Stories to share an update about his recovery process. Pant’s absence will be a big blow to India’s chances, as he is one of the best wicketkeeper-batsmen of present times and is capable of winning matches single-handedly. Pant featured in the 2019 edition of the 50-over World Cup as well after joining the side as a replacement player for injured Shikhar Dhawan. If Pant misses out on the ODI World Cup, then most likely KL Rahul will play as the wicketkeeper-batsman for India. In the three-match home series against Australia last month, despite the presence of Ishan Kishan in the squad, he was given the preference to keep the wickets, and he did a decent job as well. Among other options, India may look up to Ishan and Sanju Samson. But for the duo to make a place in the Indian team, they have to produce a good show in the ongoing IPL first and then with the Indian team in all the chances they will get.
