In his most recent social media posts, the Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant, who was involved in a horrific car accident at the tail end of 2022, delighted admirers with his progress. BCCI is reportedly planning to accelerate the star batter’s rehabilitation in an effort to get him ready for the ODI World Cup later in 2023.
Rishabh Pant, who is continuing his rehabilitation alongside Jasprit Bumrah, Shreesh Iyer, and Prasidh Krishna at the National Cricket Academy (NCA), recently posted a video of his mobility exercises. According to physiotherapist S. Rajnikanth, despite the fact that the juvenile sprinter is largely pain-free, he is still a considerable distance from a full recovery.
After sustaining multiple injuries in a car accident, the young sprinter was anticipated to miss the entire 2023 cricket season. While the captain of the Delhi Capitals missed the 16th edition of the Indian Premier League and India’s World Test Championship Final against Australia, his recovery rate has given Indian fans optimism for the upcoming One-Day International World Cup.
Jasprit Bumrah and Shreyas Iyer are Pant’s teammates at the NCA.
While the Delhi Capitals severely missed their captain during the abysmal IPL 2023 season, Rohit Sharma’s India were similarly hampered by the absence of the influential wicketkeeper-batsman in the recent WTC Final. NCA chief VVS Laxman is keeping a watchful eye on his progress.
Rishabh Pant also spends time with juvenile cricket players who have been attending NCA training camps.
Star Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah, who recently underwent back surgery and will miss IPL 2023 and the WTC Final, is continuing his rehabilitation at the NCA and is expected to be healthy for this year’s Asia Cup, which is scheduled for August-September. In addition to Bumrah, middle-order batsman Shreyas Iyer, who was hampered by a recurring back injury during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, is recovering from his injury and is anticipated to be fully recovered prior to the sixteenth edition of the continental tournament.
