Dehradun: India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant has been cleared of serious injury after a car accident on early Friday morning.
The 25-year-old was reportedly driving from his residence in Roorkee to New Delhi, when his vehicle hit a road divider at around 5:15am.
Eye-witnesses claim Pant's car caught fire, though he was able to escape, albeit with injuries to his head, back and feet. He has two cuts on his forehead, a ligament tear in his right knee and has also hurt his right wrist, ankle, toe and has suffered abrasion injuries on his back.
Several early news reports claim Pant was then admitted to Saksham Hospital near Delhi. He remains in a stable condition and has been shifted to Max Hospital in Dehradun, where he will undergo MRI scans to determine the extent of his injuries.
The BCCI is in touch with Pant's family and have extended their support to provide the India wicketkeeper-batter with the best possible medical care.
