Rishabh Pant Accident: India Wicketkeeper Reportedly Shifted to Mumbai For Further Treatment

The
25-year-old
was
under
treatment
in
Dehradun
since
December
30
following
a
horrific
car
accident
when
he
was
driving
down
from
Delhi
to
his
hometown
Rourkee.

Pant
reportedly
lost
control
on
NH-58
highway
and
hit
the
divider
with
the
car
catching
fire.
He
was
helped
by
the
driver
and
conductor
of
a
Haryana
Roadways
bus
and
was
rushed
to
Saksham
Hospital
in
Roorkee
and
later
shifted
to
Max
Hospital
in
Dehradun.

The
Indian
wicketkeeper-batter
had
suffered
cuts
to
his
forehead
and
injured
his
leg.
A
plastic
surgery
had
been
done
on
his
forehead
for
the
cuts
he
suffered
in
the
accident.

There
was
pain
in
his
right
leg
due
to
a
ligament
injury
suffered
in
the
accident.
So,
doctors
were
waiting
for
the
pain
in
his
leg
to
subside
to
conduct
an
MRI
scan,
as
per
the
sources.

Now,
reports
state
that
Pant
has
been
shifted
to
a
Mumbai
hospital
where
he
will
undergo
extensive
treatment
for
his
ligament
injuries
in
the
knee
and
ankle.

“Rishabh
is
being
shifted
to
Mumbai
for
diagnosis
and
treatment
of
his
ligament
injuries
and
decide
upon
the
further
course
of
action.
He
is
expected
to
be
under
the
supervision
of
BCCI-empanelled
renowned
sports
orthopaedic
Dr
Dinshaw
Pardiwala.
If
there
is
advice
for
surgery,
a
call
will
be
taken
if
it
will
happen
in
the
UK
or
USA,”
a
senior
BCCI
source
was
quoted
as
saying
by
Agencies.

Meanwhile,
Delhi
cricket

said
that
BCCI
will
look
after
Pant’s
treatment
in
Mumbai.

“Pant’s
further
treatment
will
be
taken
care
by
BCCI
now.
Jay
Shah
himself
will
keep
a
close
eye
on
his
treatment.
If
needed,
the

will
send
him
to
the
United
Kingdom,”
DDCA
official
was
quoted
as
saying
by
