A source at the NCA close to the development said that he has been making a fine recovery. The source said: “Rishabh has been making a fine recovery. He has started to take on deliveries with speed excess to 140 kmph. We all are delighted with the way he has been crossing every hurdle in his recovery. He is keeping well. His next target will be to focus on larger and quicker body movements, which we aim to achieve in the next couple of months”.

After that accident, the Board confirmed that Pant had cuts to his forehead, along with a torn ligament on his right knee. His right wrist, ankle and toe were injured also along with abrasion injuries on his back. After that, he missed several series for India along with major events like the IPL 2023, and the World Test Championship so far. As things stand, he is set to miss the upcoming Asia Cup and ODI World Cup. But, fans will hope for a return for him as soon as possible as that will be a blessing for Rohit Sharma and his men.
