After undergoing many operations, the most recent one being a knee surgery, India’s star cricketer Rishabh Pant is scheduled to be released from the hospital in around two weeks. For Pant and cricket lovers in India, this is welcome news. On December 30, 2022, while travelling in his posh car from Roorkee to New Delhi to surprise his mother, he suffered a deadly accident.
The 25-year-old, who had knee surgery 10 days ago, is currently being closely watched by medical professionals who want to monitor his recovery. According to a story in The Times Of India, Pant has been under observation to determine whether the ligaments are spontaneously healing. He will begin his rehab after the ligaments have healed. In two months, his status will be reviewed once more. In four to six weeks, he may begin playing. The medical professionals deemed MCL surgery to be extremely required. According to the story, the southpaw was aware of how difficult the road to rehabilitation would be.
“The ligaments usually heal in four to six weeks. After that, rehab and strengthening will begin. His return to play will be assessed in another two months. Pant realises that it will be a tough road. He would have to undergo counseling sessions too. It could be four to six months before he can start playing,” a BCCI source was quoted as saying to the TOI. In December 2022, Pant, who made his debut in international cricket in February 2017, was a member of the India Test team that won a 2-0 series against Bangladesh in Dhaka. At the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, Rishabh Pant scored 93 runs in the first innings of the second Test to win the match.
