<p>Following Rishabh Pant's horrific accident on December 30th on the Delhi-Dehradun highway, the cricket fraternity went into a frenzy. The India-keeper batter escaped any life-threatening scare&nbsp;but suffered multiple injuries including breaking both his ligaments for which he underwent a surgery last week. After&nbsp;first of his two surgeries, Pant will be spending at least a week more in the hospital, and could likely be out for at least six months, as quoted by the BCCI in a report by Hindustan Times. Recently only, the former BCCI president Sourav Ganguly also informed everyone that Pant is sure to be out of the upcoming IPL 2023.</p>

<p>As per the report, the doctors will begin with Pant's rehabilitation process; as a result he will back on his feet walking soon.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"With the mobilisation, the doctors are beginning his rehabilitation process. He will start walking with a walker and then independently. He will need an extensive rehabilitation programme," the official said.</p>

<p>The official further said both of his ligament tears are of some concern, adding that Pant will recover but all will depend on his ability to bear pain.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"As a wicketkeeper, both the ligament tears are of concern. The ACL crosses in the middle of the knee and connects the thigh bone to the shinbone. It helps stabilise the knee joint.

<p>After getting treated first at a local hospital in Roorkee before getting shifted to the Max hospital in Dehradun, Pant was airlifted to Mumbai where he was operated by the renowned BCCI-empanelled sports orthopaedic, Dr Dinshaw Pardiwala.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Meanwhile, as per Vaibhav Daga - who is the head of sports science and rehabilitation and consultant in sports medicine at the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, Pant's&nbsp;current status is unclear&nbsp;as nothing has been revealed to them; however, he adds if there is a case of an ACL, Pant could likely to be sidelined for at least six to nine months.</p>

<p>"From the recent literature, usually if it’s an ACL, it will take between 6 and 9 months; that's what we look at for their return to sport.

Major update on Rishabh Pant's injury status following knee surgery; 'he will take time to recover' - Doctors

<p>2022 ended on a disappointing note for Team India as Rishabh Pant suffered injuries during a freak car accident on December 30. Pant was invovled in a horrific accident on the Delhi-Dehradun highway&nbsp;and immediately taken to the Max Hospital, Dehradun.

The wicketkeeper-batter is on the road to recovery and his ligament injury is expected to heal in three to four months. While his return to the Indian team can take longer than expected, Sourav Ganguly -- former BCCI chief and Delhi Capitals' Director of Cricket -- has confirmed that Pant will miss IPL 2023.</p>

<p>"It will take time to heal. We cannot do anything. It's an accident. He is just 23. He has got a lot of time. Rishabh Pant will not be available for the IPL. I am in connection with DC.

Rishabh Pant won't be available for IPL 2023, confirms ex-BCCI chief Sourav Ganguly

<p>India’s keeper-batter Rishabh Pant’s first of the two surgeries on his ligament in his right knee is successful, the doctors at the Kokilaben hospital in Mumbai have informed. As reported in InsideSport, Dr. Dinshaw Pardiwala (Director of Sports Orthopaedics) along with his team of surgeons&nbsp;performed the major surgery on Friday morning that lasted for 2-3 hours. Going from what the specialists said, Pant had a major ligament tear and it will take a minimum of 8-9 months for him to recover and get back to full fitness. This means the left-handed batter will not only miss the upcoming IPL 2023, but could well be out of contention for the Asia Cup and the 50-over ODI World Cup as well.</p>

<p>A source close to the BCCI’s medial team told InsideSport that Pant’s come back could take longer than expected given the nature and extent of his injury. He said,&nbsp;“The doctors at the hospital feel Pant’s ligament tear is of severe nature. The kind of workload a wicketkeeper has to go through makes us feel Pant can come back to competitive cricket only after 6-9 months.”</p>

Rishabh Pant undergoes knee surgery, out for 6-9 months; likely to miss World Cup - Doctors

<p>As Rishabh Pant is likely to remain out of IPL 2023 following a major car accident, Delhi Capitals is mulling over approaching veteran Aussie opener David Warner to take over the reins this season, as per sources. Also, the franchise could well ask Sarfaraz Khan to be the wicketkeeper if the situation demands.</p>

<p>Having Pant in their team was a luxury for Delhi as they didn’t invest in keeper-batters over the past few seasons. However, an unfortunate incident (Rishabh Pant’s accident) has now put Delhi under pressure in forming the best XI.</p>

<p>Although they do have England’s Phil Salt in their ranks, making him play as a specialist keeper-batter could hamper DC’s ideal playing XI plan going forward.</p>

<p>As reported in TOI, a source close to the information, on Wednesday said, "Pant has been the mainstay of the middle-order. Warner has the experience of leading IPL teams. The management will speak to him. The middle-order needs an impactful Indian batter now. Sarfaraz will be asked to keep wickets if the combination asks for it. Meanwhile, the team will be looking for a domestic wicketkeeper or a strong batter.”</p>

<p>Since David Warner also has an experience of leading a franchise to an IPL title (SunRisers Hyderabad won 2016 season under his captaincy), he could come out as an ideal candidate to lead Delhi – who are yet to put its hand on trophy. He is currently taking part in the Test series against South Africa at home and then will be travelling to India for the Border-Gavaskar series, that begins on February 9th in Nagpur.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Rishabh Pant was airlifted to Mumbai from Dehradun recently where he will undergo surgery. Despite not suffering any life-threatening injuries in the accident on December 30th, Pant still endured scars and bruises and tore his ligament in right knee. The India keeper is likely to remain out for at least three to six months, and will aim to make a return to the side in the lead up to the 50-over World Cup in October-November this year.</p>

<p>After being taken to Mumbai, the 25-year-old Pant will be monitored by the BCCI panel doctors who will go through his reports and assess his condition.

It is to be noted that Pant had rammed his car into a divider in the wee hours on December 30 (Friday). He was driving alone when he suffered injuries following the car accident.&nbsp;</p>

During the IPL 2019 edition, Ganguly was associated with the Delhi camp as the team mentor. Back then, the Shreyas Iyer-led DC camp had entered the playoffs for the first time since 2012 and ended at the third spot.</p>

<p>As per a&nbsp;report by Press Trust of India (PTI), Ganguly will also be managing the&nbsp;affairs of the Dubai Capitals and Pretoria Capitals in the ILT20 and CSA T20 leagues, in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and South Africa respectively.

Rishabh Pant is out of ICU, BCCI hopeful of him getting discharged in 2-3 days

<p>Kuldeep Yadav had a good outing in 2022. It was the year of revival for the wrist spinner following his successful run in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 edition. After being released from the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in late 2021, he was bought by the Delhi Capitals (DC) and played all games for the franchise in last year's edition, returning with 21 wickets (fifth-most overall). While he is still not a regular across formats for Team India, his run for DC surely grabbed eyeballs as the 28-year-old has seen his stocks go down following IPL 2019.</p>

<p>During IPL 2019-2021, Kuldeep was part of KKR (his first-ever franchise) but only played a handful of games. He featured in only 14 games in 2019 and 2020 before entirely missing the 2021 season. While he was not in the best of form as well, many criticised KKR for their treatment towards the star spinner. Back then, Karthik was the KKR captain when Kuldeep became out of favour. Recently, the veteran keeper-batter praised Kuldeep -- following his recent five-fer in the India-Bangladesh Tests -- but the spinner's coach has slammed DK and the Kolkata franchise for dropping him.</p>

<p>Speaking to&nbsp;<em>Sportskeeda</em>, Kuldeep's coach Kapil Pandey said, "When he was with Kolkata and Karthik was the captain, he used to give him just 1-2 overs each game. Now he says that Kuldeep is his favourite Indian bowler. "<em>Favorite tha to usko khilaaya kyu nahi? Usko khilaate?</em>&nbsp;(If he was your favourite, then why didn't you play him?) But that’s okay, that’s past now and I believe the future will be great for Kuldeep."</p>

<p>Further, Kapil lauded DC's team management for backing Kuldeep's talent in IPL 2022. "He used to be badly neglected in Kolkata, but it has been the complete opposite in Delhi. Rishabh Pant, Ricky Ponting, Shane Watson and others have backed and supported him and that really helped him play freely "Ponting told him that he will play all games, and when you hear this as a bowler, your morale gets boosted. Rishabh also backed him in all situations and so he deserves a lot of praise for Kuldeep’s comeback," he added.</p>

<section>Being an ODI World Cup year, with the showpiece event to be held in India later in 2023, Kuldeep will be eager to remin consistent in the forthcoming IPL season and also come out with glittering performances for Team India to cement his place across formats.

<p>On Friday (December 30), Rishabh Pant was involved in a serious car accident on the Delhi-Dehradun highway. While he is now at the ICU at the Max Hospital, Dehradun, the 25-year-old is getting provided with the best medical help possible and is en route to recovery. He suffered several injuries due to the freak car accident but is believed to be out of danger and is safe.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Many former and active cricketers, celebrities from other fields and even Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi have reacted to Pant's accident and prayed for his speedy recovery and return to the 22-yard cricket strip. Kapil Dev, India's 1983 World Cup-winning skipper, also joined the bandwagon and thanked god for Pant being safe. He, however, shared valuable advice for the youngster. Kapil feels Pant should hire a driver and not drive himself, to avoid such horrific accidents and a plethora of injuries.</p>

<p>Speaking to ABP News, Kapil said, "This is a learning. When I was still an up-and-coming cricketer, I faced a motorcycle accident. From that day onwards, my brother didn't even let me touch the motorbike. I'm just thankful to god that Rishabh Pant is safe. Yes, you have a good-looking car with great speeds but you have to be careful. You can easily afford a driver, you don't have to drive it alone." He added, "I understand that one has hobbies or even passion for such things, it's natural to have it at his age, but you also have responsibilities. Only you can take care of yourself. You have to decide things for yourself."</p>

<p>Meanwhile, the medical team monitoring Pant's progress shared an important update. The medical team member told TOI, "It is important that Rishabh gets sufficient time to rest, not just physically but mentally too. He is still in pain due to the injuries sustained in the accident. He has to speak to visitors, which drains his energy that should be preserved for faster recovery. People planning to visit him should avoid it for now and let him rest.</p>

<p>Since Pant had been one of the core players in the Test team for over two years now, not having him for the series against Australia will come as huge blow for the Indian team.

'Bounce back Rishabh' - R Ashwin, Virender Sehwag & others pray for Pant's speedy recovery

<p>Sri Lanka&nbsp;legend Kumar Sangakkara has thrown his weight behind star India keeper-batter Rishabh Pant, who was omitted from the white-ball squad for the Sri Lanka series, that begins on January 3rd in Mumbai. Despite being a superb performer in the longer-format over a couple of years, Pant has failed to replicate his form on consistent basis in the white-ball cricket. Speaking to&nbsp;PTI on Thursday, December 29th,&nbsp;Sangakkara shared a piece of advice for&nbsp;Pant that could eventually see him getting better at his game in T20Is and ODIs particularly.</p>

<p>A veteran keeper himself Sangakkara said Pant really needs to work on his wicket-keeping if he wishes to be more confident about his game across formats. Kumar added concentrating on smaller moments will help him become the keeper that everyone expect him to be.</p>

<p>"I think for one Rishabh Pant can improve his wicketkeeping quite a bit. A lot of people only concentrate on his batting, and it is a combination of two that increases confidence," Sangakkara said.</p>

<p>"I know it is hard and boring but he can really become good by concentrating on smaller moments and that in turn will help him in white ball cricket, and then he will become the keeper he is expected to become," he added.</p>

<p>Pant, who had a lean run in T20Is and ODIs lately, could really become&nbsp;a regular in shorter formats if he starts working on knowing how to build his innings, as per Sangakkara. Although his records in Tests are good enough to tell everyone how good a player he can be on his day, Pant could raise his game if he becomes little smarter in picking his bowlers.</p>

<p>"In his batting, I have no doubt that he has got all the shots, ability and talent but it is about understanding how you build an innings in T20 cricket, knowing which bowlers to attack and being a little smart."</p>

<p>While the BCCI didn't mention a specific reason as to why Pant was not selected for the upcoming series, it is believed that he has been asked to report to the NCA to work on strength and conditioning.</p>

Pant, who had a lean run in T20Is and ODIs lately, could really become a regular in shorter formats if he starts working on knowing how to build his innings, as per Sangakkara. Although his records in Tests are good enough to tell everyone how good a player he can be on his day, Pant could raise his game if he becomes little smarter in picking his bowlers. "In his batting, I have no doubt that he has got all the shots, ability and talent but it is about understanding how you build an innings in T20 cricket, knowing which bowlers to attack and being a little smart." While the BCCI didn't mention a specific reason as to why Pant was not selected for the upcoming series, it is believed that he has been asked to report to the NCA to work on strength and conditioning.

IND vs SL 2023: Kumar Sangakkara throws his weight behind star batter, tells him mantra to become great

<p>The BCCI selecton committee, led by outgoing chief Chetan Sharma, selected India's white-ball squads for their upcoming home assignments versus Sri Lanka, starting on January 03. While Hardik Pandya was named the T20I captain, Rohit Sharma will continue to lead in ODIs and make his return straightaway during the 50-over series -- after a thumb injury he suffered during the Bangladesh tour. Meanwhile, the likes of Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Rishabh Pant didn't find a mention in both the squads whereas veteran opener Shikhar Dhawan was dropped from the ODI setup after his stocks having fallen considerably in recent times.&nbsp;</p>

<p>There has been no update shared by the selectors regarding the absence of Bhuvi and Pant. While a lot has been said and written about Pant's T20I career, which has still not taken off, he was expected to be a part of the ODI squad versus the Lankans. However, no reason was provided regarding his absence.&nbsp;According to several reports, it has been revealed that the swashbuckling keeper-batter has been left out to be able to recover from the niggle that he has been carrying in his knee for quite sometime.</p>

<p>According to reports in The Times of India, Rev Sportz, and Sports Tak, Pant has had&nbsp;a niggle on his knee for quite sometime and has, thus, been rested from the SL series. It is believed that&nbsp;the youngster has been asked to report at&nbsp;the National Cricket Academy (NCA), in Bengaluru, from January 3 for 15 days to work on his knee and regain full fitness before the upcoming New Zealand and Australia series on home soil.&nbsp;</p>

EXPLAINED: Why Rishabh Pant isn't part of India's home white-ball series vs Sri Lanka

<p>Day 2 of the ongoing second and final Test between India and Bangladesh has been filled with drama and lots of action on the 22-yard cricket strip. While the day started with India losing both their openers for cheap and No. 3 batter Cheteshwar Pujara also returning to the pavillion before the lunch break, the visitors could've lost another wicket due to a miscommunication between former skipper Virat Kohli and Rishabh Pant.</p>

<p>The incident took place on the last ball before lunch with Virat on&nbsp;strike. The right-hander played a&nbsp;flick shot to mid-on and was keen on taking a single. However, Pant sent him back as Kohli somehow managed to reach the crease with a diving effort. It wasn't well received as the senior pro gave a death stare to Pant. <strong>Here's the video which has gone viral on social media platforms:</strong></p>

WATCH: Virat Kohli's death stare to Rishabh Pant goes viral during Day 2 of Dhaka Test

<p>Rishabh Pant missed the entire ODI series between India and Bangladesh after consultation with the BCCI medical team. While he has returned for the two-match Test series and was drafted into the playing XI after India opted to bat first on Day 1 of the Chattogram Test, Pant slammed a well-made 46-run-knock. Coming out to bat at No. 5 with India struggling at 48 for 3, Pant resurrected the Indian innings with a 64-run fourth-wicket stand with Cheteshwar Pujara (90) before falling for 46 after the lunch break. Though his stay wasn't a lengthy one, he achieved a new record.</p>

<p>With his second six, Pant became the second-fastest Indian to reach 50 sixes in the purest format of the game. Pant (54th inning) is only behind Rohit Sharma (51 innings).&nbsp; Overall, the swashbuckling wicketkeeper-batter stands third in the all-time list of fastest to 50 Test sixes. Pakistan's Shahid Afridi continues to lead the list as he reached the feat in 46 innings. Among Indians, Pant is the eighth batter to 50 maximums in whites. He has joined some big names such as Rohit, Virender Sehwag, MS&nbsp;Dhoni, Sachin Tendulkar, Kapil Dev, Sourav Ganguly and Ravindra Jadeja.</p>

<p>In addition, Pant touched the 4000-run mark in international cricket during his knock on Day 1 of the India-Bangladesh Chattogram Test on Wednesday (December 14).</p>

<p>The year 2022 is about to end. It has been a year full of many sporting events, fulfilling the demands of sports fans across the globe. In India, many upcoming sports personalities made a big name for themselves in 2022. With only a few days left for the year to bid goodbye, Google has released the top 10 most searched people in 2022 in India. The overall list has only one sportsperson's mention. While many would've expected&nbsp;Virat Kohli, Neeraj Chopra, MS Dhoni, etc. to make the cut, it is former Rajasthan Royals (RR) spinner Pravin Tambe who has topped the list among sports personalities.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The reason for Tambe topping the elite list can be due to a biopic on his life, which was released on Disney+Hotstar in April 2022. Actor Shreyas Talpade played the titular role in the movie, which was appreciated by many for its inspirational story and acting. Tambe has had a memorable run as a cricketer. Having not played a single first-class game at any level, he was picked by the 2008 IPL champions RR at the age of 41 in 2013. He, thus, became the oldest debutant in the cash-rich league and made heads turn with a sensational hat-trick in IPL 2014, versus the Kolkata Knight Riders. Following this, he represented Mumbai in first-class cricket and also went on to feature in several leagues across the globe.&nbsp;</p>

<p>From India's perspective, KL Rahul top-scored with a fine 70-ball 73 whereas in-form batter Shreyas Iyer struck 24 (39) along with Rohit Sharma and Washington Sundar also getting starts. Before the second and penultimate ODI, Little Master Sunil Gavaskar has a word of advise for Rahul and Iyer, who have been very good in ODI cricket of late. Gavaskar feels both have done well but cannot afford to relax with all-rounder Hardik Pandya's return in the format inevitable.</p>

<p>Speaking to&nbsp;<em>Sony Sports,</em>&nbsp;Gavaskar said, "When you have someone breathing down your neck, like KL Rahul will feel Shreyas Iyer is breathing down his neck which is again good for Rahul because he would want to go out there not taking any match lightly. He would want to score in every game. And both of them are outstanding fielders and KL Rahul can keep wickets which is a huge plus. Iyer can also bowl. So it is good to have these kind of competitions for No. 5 and 6 not to forget that there is a certain Hardik Pandya who is also likely to comeback in the one-day side sooner than later."</p>

BAN vs IND 2022: Gavaskar warns Rahul, Iyer to not get complacent with Hardik's likely return in ODIs

<p>After the disappointment endured in the T20 World Cup, Team India has now started preparations for the 2023 ODI World Cup. After the T20 WC, regular captain Rohit Sharma missed the New Zealand tour whereas head coach Rahul Dravid was also rested. Thus, Shikhar Dhawan led in the ODIs whereas Hardik Pandya took charge of the T20I side.</p>

<p>Since the T20 WC debacle, many have spoken about the need for split captaincy with too much cricket being played. Moreover, there have been talks about having different coaches for different formats. England already have Brendon McCullum as their Test coach whereas&nbsp;Matthew Mott serves as the white-ball coach. In this regard, former Indian cricketer Hemang Badani feels such a change is surely on the cards in the Indian team.</p>

<p>Badani told Times Now, "I am of the opinion that both will happen in time for sure and it should happen. The skillset that a coach is required to have for different formats is not the same. The way you handle a T20 side to the way you handle and prepare for an ODI, or for Test format, is a lot different. I am all for that to happen in the future. Be it captaincy, be it coaching."</p>

<p>Dravid took over as the Indian team head coach after Ravi Shastri post the 2021 T20 WC in the UAE. Under Rohit and him, India have been pretty average.

Split captaincy, split coaching will happen for Team India, predicts former Indian cricketer

<p>India’s white-ball captain KL Rahul not only batted in the middle order but also kept wickets during India's 1st ODI against Bangladesh in Dhaka on Sunday.

BAN vs IND 2022: ‘Was asked to keep wickets, no idea why Rishabh Pant was released’ – KL Rahul

<p>Uncertainty surrounding Rishabh Pant’s gloomy ODI future continues to grow as on Sunday ahead of the first ODI against Bangladesh in Dhaka, the keeper-batsman got released from the squad. The BCCI, in a statement, didn’t reveal the specifics but instead said the decision is taken "in consultation with the BCCI medical team" and "no replacement has been sought". Left-arm spinner Axar Patel was also not available for selection in the first ODI, the statement added. Rishabh, however, will be joining the team before the start of the Test series&nbsp;on December 14th.</p>
