India is going to organize the ODI World Cup later this year. Before that, Team India will strengthen its preparations for the Asia Cup. There is still a lot of time in these two big tournaments, but before that, the team suffered a big blow. It is difficult for India's star wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant to play in the Asia Cup and the World Cup. According to media reports, Pant, who was injured in a car accident, has been ruled out of these two big tournaments.
According to the report, Rishabh Pant's return will take some time and if he recovers fast, he can be back on the field by January next year. Pant met with a car accident in Roorkee, Uttarakhand on his way home on December 30 last year. His life was narrowly saved in the accident. Pant was injured in many parts of the body. Now his injury is slowly improving.
It may take a lot of help to walk without help
Pant was recently seen walking on crutches during Delhi Capitals' IPL match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. He was also seen during the team's net session in Bengaluru. It may take a few weeks for Pant to walk without any help. It looks like Pant is recovering fast but it may take seven to eight months before he is fully fit to play cricket on the field.
It will take more time to get ready for wicketkeeping
Even if Pant becomes fully fit to play cricket, it may take him a long time to get ready for wicketkeeping. He can return first as a batsman. It is believed that Pant is showing a lot of courage to return to the field. BCCI is also helping them in every possible way. Pant had undergone ligament tear surgery in January.
A pant may have another surgery
Pant is under the supervision of Dr. Dinshaw Pardiwala, head of the Center for Sports Medicine and director of Arthroscopy and Shoulder Service at the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital and Medical Research Institute in Mumbai. There is a possibility that he may undergo another surgery. Pant last represented India in a Test in Bangladesh in December. The exact timing of his return will be known when he goes to the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru for rehab.
