Rishabh Pant To Be Shifted To Mumbai Today For Further Treatment

Dehradun: Indian wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant, will be shifted from Dehradun to Mumbai for additional medical attention after suffering injuries in a terrible car accident last week. Pant had injuries to his right wrist, ankle, toe, and back in addition to two cuts on his forehead, and a torn ligament in his right knee. He is currently being watched in Dehradun’s Max Hospital. Shyam Sharma, the director of the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA), has confirmed that Pant will be sent to Mumbai later on Wednesday for additional medical care.

“Cricketer Rishabh pant will be shifted to Mumbai today for further treatment,” Sharma told the media.

Pant had a miraculous escape when his luxury car crashed into a road divider and caught fire after he dozed off at the wheel on the Delhi-Dehradun highway in the early hours of Friday. The 25-year-old was on his way to his hometown Roorkee to surprise his mother.

Last Monday, the BCCI also released a statement that read, “Pant has two wounds on his forehead, a torn ligament in his right knee, as well as injuries to his right wrist, ankle, and toe. His back also has abrasions. According to a BCCI statement released to the media, Rishabh’s health is stable, and he has now been transferred to Max Hospital in Dehradun where he will undergo MRI scans to determine the extent of his injuries and determine his next course of treatment.”

Pant is said to have been driving the car alone when the accident occurred.

Pant has apparently already been transferred from the intensive care unit (ICU) to a private suite and is no longer in danger. The accident’s severity and the batter’s injuries mean that he will be out of action for a considerable period of time.
