Team India wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant is currently undergoing treatment in a private hospital in Dehradun after he was involved in a horrific car accident. On December 30 (Friday), Pant was involved in a devastating accident when his car hit a divider while he was traveling from Delhi to Roorkee. The news of Pant's car accident sent shockwaves across the country and people from all walks of life are now praying for his speedy recovery.
Pant's longtime teammate Ishan Kishan was involved in a Ranji Trophy match for Jharkhand against Services when on the day of the car accident. Kishan only heard about the painful news when he was clicking selfies with fans in the stadium and his one-word initial reaction revealed how shocked the Jharkhand lad was after hearing about the incident.
A startled Kishan said 'kya' (what) as he couldn't believe what he had just heard. The left-handed batter then asked fans "Kya baat kar rahe ho yaar" (What are you saying guys!).

According to a statement released by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Pant sustained several injuries in the accident.
"Rishabh 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. Rishabh’s condition remains stable, and he has now been shifted to Max Hospital, Dehradun, where he will undergo MRI scans to ascertain the extent of his injuries and formulate his further course of treatment," BCCI had said in a release on Friday.
The wicketkeeper-batter is likely to be sidelined for a few months as the extent of his injuries are still being evaluated by the doctors.
