Bumrah and Krishna have reached the final phases of their rehabilitation and are bowling with full intensity in the nets. Following their participation in the practice games organised by the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru, the BCCI medical staff will make a final determination regarding their participation.

According to a statement, wicketkeeper batter Rishabh Pant, who was involved in a near-fatal vehicle accident on 30 December 2022, has made significant progress. The 25-year-old has begun batting and keeping in the nets and is following a strength, flexibility, and running-based fitness programme designed for him. In the meantime, star batsmen KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer have begun batting in the nets and are undergoing strength and conditioning exercises.

The medical staff is also pleased with their progress and will increase the intensity of their skills and strength and conditioning training in the coming days. With the ODI World Cup 2023 scheduled to begin in India on October 5, Team India hopes that all of their players will return to the pitch as soon as feasible. According to reports, Bumrah will likely make his return to the team during the August T20I series against Ireland.

Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul have also commenced net practice.

In addition, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul will be crucial for India in the World Cup. Consequently, their services will be required within the middle hierarchy. According to the BCCI, a significant portion of their rehabilitation has already been completed.

Iyer has been sidelined since March 2023, whereas Rahul has been sidelined since May 2023. In a positive development, Pant is unlikely to return to the team this year. Pant has been sorely missed. In his absence, India would require other players to stand up and assume the role of wicketkeeper during the World Cup.

Cricketer Rishabh Pant’s car met with an accident on Friday. Pant has suffered serious head and knee injuries. Apart from this, there were injuries in some parts of the back and legs. This accident of Pant happened in Mohammadpur Jat area near Roorkee. After this accident, a bus driver saved the life of Rishabh Pant by becoming the messiah. The driver first stopped the bus and took Rishabh Pant away from the car. After this he was taken to the hospital.

Rishabh Pant was going to his home town Roorkee driving his own Mercedes car. During this, he blinked and his car collided with the divider and met with an accident. Pant himself told that he came out after breaking the wind screen. After this, there was a fierce fire in the car. After this accident, Sushil was the first to reach Rishabh Pant.

The bus was running backwards at the time of the accident.

According to Haridwar SSP Ajay Kumar, when the accident happened in the car, the Haryana Roadways bus was following them. Driver Sushil Kumar stopped the bus after seeing the car accident and informed by calling on 112 number. After this Rishabh Pant was taken to the hospital.

Sushil Kumar said, ‘I am a driver in Haryana Roadways. I was coming from Haridwar. As soon as we reached Narsan, 200 meters before. I saw a car coming from Delhi side and hit the divider at a speed of about 60-70. After colliding, the car came on the Haridwar line. I saw that now the bus will also collide. We will not be able to save anyone. Because I had a distance of 50 meters only. I immediately removed the car from the service line and put it in the first line. That car left in the second line. My car was in the speed of 50-60. I immediately applied the brakes and jumped from the window side.

Took away from the car, wrapped in a sheet – bus driver

Sushil Kumar told, ‘I saw that man (Rishabh Pant). He was lying on the ground. I thought he would not survive. Sparks were coming out in the car. He (Pant) was lying beside him. We picked him up and took him away from the car. I asked him – someone else is inside the car. He said that I was alone. Then he told that I am Rishabh Pant. I don’t know that much about cricket. Made him stand on the side. There were no clothes on his body, so we wrapped him in our sheet.
