Rishabh Pant had undergone ligament reconstruction surgery at Kokilaben Hospital. Now Rishabh Pant is expected to have another surgery within the next six weeks. In such a situation, this wicket-keeper batsman is likely to be out of the IPL and Asia Cup as well as the ODI World Cup to be held in October-November.
After the car accident, MRI of Pant’s brain and spinal cord was done at Max Hospital. But due to swelling and pain, MRI of his knee and ankle could not be done. It appears that Pant will require surgery on both ankle and knee. It usually takes 6-8 months to recover from knee ligament surgery.

Rishabh Pant’s survival in the accident was no less than a miracle. His car collided with the divider after which it caught fire. Pant somehow managed to get out of the car. Haryana Roadways bus driver Sushil helped him a lot. Later the bus driver and conductor were also rewarded by the Uttarakhand government.
