Team India head coach Rahul Dravid and other members of the Indian cricket team sent warm wishes to their star wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant for his speedy recovery. The Board of Control for Cricket India (BCCI) shared a video featuring Dravid, Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Shubman Gill sending warm wishes to Pant on Tuesday (December 3). They recalled Pant’s special innings in Test cricket when India found themselves in a difficult situation.

“Hey Rishabh, hope you’re doing well and hope you’ll get well soon. Over the last one year, I’ve had the privilege of seeing you play some of the greatest innings played in Indian cricket Test history, whenever we’ve been in a difficult situation. So I know you got the character and got the ability to get yourself out of very difficult situation,” Mr. Dravid said.

“This is one such challenge and I know you’re gonna bounce back like you’ve done so many times this year. Looking forward to having you back soon buddy,” he added.

Rishabh Pant has been shifted from the ICU to a private suite

The 24-year-old met with a terrible car crash on the Narsan border of Roorkee near Hammadpur Jhal in the early hours of Friday. He was on his way to meet his family in Roorkee in the state of Uttarakhand when reportedly, he dozed off and lost control of the car.

But he escaped the near-fatal car crash by breaking one of the windows before he was assisted by a few men to a nearby hospital. And now, he has been given treatment at the Max Hospital in Dehradun. According to BCCI’s report, Pant has sustained two cuts on his forehead, and a ligament tear in his right knee, ankle, toe, and back.

The Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) Director Shyam Sharma said to ANI on Monday that Pant has been shifted from the ICU to a private suite due to fear of infection. Sharma also asked people to avoid meeting Pant as “there were chances of infection“, adding that there should be no VIP movement to meet Pant.
