DDCA director Shyam Sharma provides latest update on Rishabh Pant's recovery
Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA) committee, headed by directors Shyam Sharma and Harish Singla, recently visited the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru, where they also met Rishabh Pant. As per Shyam Sharma, Pant, who is undergoing rehabilitation for injuries he sustained in a car accident late last year, is said to be doing well and recovering at a good pace.
The attacking keeper-batter underwent a knee surgery early this year; as a result, he got ruled out for an indefinite period.
Meanwhile, Pant keeps informing his fans and well-wishers about his gradual recovery through social media.
However, going by the recent photos he posted, the Delhi boy looks to be in better shape, but the timeline of his return to the field remains uncertain.

Accident and beyond
During the wee hours on December 30 last year, Pant, driving back to his home in Dehradun from Delhi, met with a car accident. As per the onlookers, Pant’s car rammed into the roadside dividers and rolled over a couple of times, causing it to catch fire.
Pant was saved by those nearby and was taken immediately to a nearby hospital before being shifted to Max Hospital in Dehradun.
After spending more than a week in Dehradun, Pant was airlifted to Mumbai for further treatment, where he underwent knee surgery.
After going under the knife and consulting doctors and experts, Pant was suggested complete rest, resulting in him missing all the upcoming action, including the home series against Sri Lanka, New Zealand, Border-Gavaskar series against Australia, IPL 2023 for Delhi Capitals and the World Test Championship Final.
As things stand, the left-handed batter is said to remain on the sidelines for the remaining part of the year, missing the home World Cup in October-November.
With the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup in sight, the Indian Cricket Team is trying to fill Pant’s void in the team, with KL Rahul as the frontrunner as his replacement.
As backups, the team is preparing double centurion Ishan Kishan in the background, while Sanju Samson’s selection for the West Indies ODIs and T20Is also comes as a positive sign.
