India’s wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant recently met with a career-threatening injury while heading to his hometown, Roorkee located in Uttarakhand. The cricketer was travelling all alone in his Mercedez from Delhi to Uttarakhand to surprise his family members.

However, as it turned out, something unthinkable happened to him as he accidentally rammed into one of the divider linings of the Delhi-Dehradun highway, which triggered instant flames in the vehicle.

Apparently, Rishabh Pant fell asleep for a few seconds before he lost total control of the vehicle while he was travelling at around 5:30 am on December 30. As a result, it led to a massive crash and fortunately, Pant jumped off the burning vehicle in the first place.

Rishabh Pant is on the road to recovery: Reports

The wicketkeeper-batsman was initially admitted to a nearby local hospital and sought medical assistance from the surgeons before he was shifted to a private hospital in Mumbai, where he underwent surgery.

Meanwhile, as per a report by Dainik Jagran, Rishabh Pant is on the road to recovery. The source added that Rishabh Pant stood for some time after the surgery with the assistance of others and then recovered a lot.

This is indeed a massive boost to Team India and the supporters because they want the wicketkeeper-batsman to get ready to face important matches in the future. Sources close to BCCI medical staff reckon that Pant will need at least eight to nine months before making a national comeback.

Rishabh Pant has literally enjoyed playing red-ball cricket more than any other format in international cricket. Having played 33 Tests, he has aggregated 2271 runs at an average of 43.7 including five centuries and eleven fifties to his name.

He has been the top performer for Team India in Tests for the last few years. On the other hand, he has scored 865 runs in 30 ODIs including one century and five fifties. He scored 987 runs in 66 T20Is including three fifties.
