Rishabh Pant Health Update: Rishabh Pant is being moved to Mumbai from Dehradun for further treatment. The India wicketkeeper-batsman had severely injured himself owing to a car crash on December 30, 2022. Pant was driving to Roorkee, Uttarakhand from Delhi when the accident happened. The youngster has sustained severe injuries to his wrist and knees and as of now, his return to the Indian team remains doubtful. Pant might also miss the Indian Premiere League that will be played from April to June.
After the horrific incident that took place on December 30, 2022, the youngster was admitted to Max Hospital, Dehradun. Pant was driving back to his hometown to visit his family before going to the National Cricket Academy (NCA) for the strength and conditioning of his knees. It is being reported that Pant will be shifted to Mumbai's Lilavati hospital. After his accident, Pant went through a series of plastic surgeries and MRI scans. At one point in time, the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) was considering the idea of airlifting Pant and moving him to Delhi, but he recovered at a decent pace and he will now go ahead with his ligament treatment.
After the tragic accident that took place on the Delhi-Haridwar highway, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has been closely monitoring pant and his condition regularly. The cricketing body strictly instructed doctors at Max Hospital, Dehradun to consult BCCI's medical team before treating Pant's ligament injuries. Before this incident, the wicketkeeper-batsman was dropped from the ODI and the T20 squad that was selected to take on Sri Lanka. It was being said that Pant was carrying a niggle in his knees and it required NCA's immediate attention. The Delhi Capitals skipper was expected to regain full fitness before the start of the important Border-Gavaskar Trophy that will be played in February-March 2023.
