On December 30, 2022, the India wicketkeeper and batter Rishabh Pant was involved in an accident that was exceedingly dangerous. Early in the morning, his vehicle went off the roadway on NH-58 in the Haridwar district of Uttarakhand, and it subsequently caught fire.
Even though the Indian athlete was able to flee the scene of the accident by, according to reports, shattering the window of his car, he sustained a number of serious injuries and is presently being treated at Max Dehradun.
Pant has two wounds on his forehead, a torn ligament in his right knee, as well as injuries to his right wrist, ankle, toe, and back. Additionally, he has sustained a concussion.
Everyone on Team India, including Pant’s teammate Ishan Kishan, was taken aback when they heard the news of Pant’s tragedy. Kishan was participating in a match for the Ranji Trophy.
At the request of the spectators, he approached the boundary line during the halftime break in order to sign autographs and pose for photographs. After this, the supporters shared the news with him about what had happened to Pant.
Kishan has now divulged the details of his ordeal, which he went through after hearing the news.
“At first, I wasn’t really sure what to think about it. At first, I thought it must just be a regular accident and that people are making a big deal out of it, but then I found out that he was in really critical condition, and my anxiety level skyrocketed as a result.
During the entirety of the Ranji Trophy match, my blood pressure and pulse rate were both quite elevated. Given that he is a great player and I am aware that he is a fighter, I want nothing but the utmost best for him and I hope that he gets well soon.
Even on the ground, we have seen him engaged in battle, and we anticipate his return very soon “declared Kishan before he opened the batting for India in the first Twenty20 International that was played on Tuesday against Sri Lanka.
It has been stated that Pant is no longer in imminent danger and has already been transferred from the intensive care unit to a private suite. As a result of the serious nature of the mishap and the injuries that the wicket-keeper batsman experienced, it is likely that he will be sidelined for a considerable amount of time.
