Actors Anupam Kher & Anil Kapoor Meet Rishabh Pant in Hospital

Dehradun: Eminent Bollywood actors Anupam Kher and Anil Kapoor met Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant and inquired about his health after the latter’s car was involved in an accident early on Friday.

Doctors claim that Pant has a leg fracture and has had plastic surgery for facial burns.

BCCI Secretary Jay Shah had earlier spoken with Pant’s family and offered assistance. The family of Pant was also spoken to by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

A group from the Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA) was also travelling to meet the cricketer.

According to DDCA Director Shyam Sharma, Pant will be airlifted, if necessary. He is reportedly no longer in danger, though.

His knee and ankle scans will be performed later on Saturday, and the results of his head and spine scans are normal.

Concern over Pant’s ruptured ligament in his right knee has been expressed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

According to media reports, the BCCI medical staff will treat Pant’s ligament, and he may be sent abroad for treatment, after consulting with the specialists treating him in Dehradun.
