Rishabh Pant was travelling from Delhi to Uttarakhand when his car collided with a divider near Roorkee. Some locals rescued the cricketer and rushed him to hospital for some trauma treatment. After initially being admitted in Dehradun for a few days, the star player was airlifted to Mumbai for treatment of his knee injuries.
BCCI is yet to officially confirm when Pant will return to playing field but if a report in ESPNCricinfo is to be believed, the wicket-keeper is likely to remain out of action for over next six months, which means majority of 2023, including IPL and 2023 ODI World Cup.
