Rishabh Pant, India’s star keeper-batter who was involved in a horrific road accident last December, is doing well. According to a BCCI official, things have finally started to look up for Pant, who has been recovering from multiple injuries faster than expected and is expected to be back in action sooner than expected.
It was previously reported that the young keeper batter had undergone multiple surgeries and was scheduled to have another one. However, a BCCI official has dispelled all such rumors, claiming that he will be able to return to cricket much sooner than expected.
As per TOI, a BCCI source said: “Let’s make it clear that Pant never had multiple surgeries, as was speculated. There was much anxiety over another surgery. He was monitored every fortnight. Fortunately, his progress has been better than expected. This is a big boost for him. It could mean his comeback can happen a lot earlier than what was first expected.”
“He is in good spirits. He can now walk considerably longer without a crutch. The focus of his rehab is now largely on strengthening. He should be in the back-to-play phase training soon,” the source added.
