 Rishabh Pant, who was dropped from the T20 and ODI team against Sri Lanka 3 days ago, has suffered another setback. Pant met with a major accident on Thursday night. He has got injuries at 5 places. These include forehead, wrist of right hand, knee, ankle and thumb of right leg. Knee, ankle and wrist injuries are important because the use of these areas is crucial for wicketkeeping.

We spoke to experts to know the seriousness of the injury and its impact on his career. We learned from former international wicket-keeper Naman Ojha and sports medicine expert how serious Pant's injury is and when he will be able to return to the field.

Experts say, ' During wicketkeeping, there is maximum movement in the knee, ankle and wrist. In that case it would be difficult. By when he will be able to make a comeback, it can be accurately estimated only by looking at the MRI report. Recovery may take a year.

Every point counts for a wicketkeeper: Ojha
Naman Ojha says that if knee ligaments are torn, recovery takes time. It takes a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 8 weeks to recover from a simple knee injury. Every point matters in wicketkeeping. Wherever the injury is, it affects. Even if it is a finger injury. Pant's wrist, knee and ankle are affected in all three places. It will take time to2. Recovery will take at least a year:

Dr. Rajat Jangid, sports medicine expert who went with the Indian team to the Tokyo Olympics, says, "If there is a bone injury, it takes 2-3 months to recover and the ligament is torn. Yes, it takes 6 to 9 months to recover from it.This type of injury is called achial injury, which the player gets on the field.

In a car accident, most of the ligaments are torn or many ligaments are torn. It also takes more time. Sometimes it takes even a year. As far as wicketkeeping is concerned, the ankle, knee and hip are important for the wicketkeeper's position. Wrist-elbows are important for his working hand. Pant's wrist is also injured and his knee is also injured. In this case, recovery may take time. However, the MRI reports are yet to come. In such a situation, no one can tell the exact time how much time it will take. All I can say is that it may take 6-7 months for the knee and 3-4 months for the wrist." return. However, he is young...a speedy recovery is also possible.

BCCI said - Will give every medical treatment, in contact with family-doctors

Pant did not get a place in ODI and T20 against Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka's India tour starts from 3rd January. The neighboring team will play ODI and T20 series here. Hardik Pandya has been made the captain of the T20 team in place of injured Rohit Sharma. While Suryakumar Yadav has become the vice captain for the first time. The command of ODI will remain with Rohit. Rohit and Virat Kohli have been rested from T20. Both of them are part of the ODI team. Shikhar Dhawan and Rishabh Pant have been dropped from the team.

25-year-old cricketer Rishabh Pant narrowly escaped in a road accident on Friday morning. According to the police, the accident happened due to dozing off. His Mercedes went out of control and hit the divider, after which it caught fire and overturned. After the accident, Pant came out on his own by breaking the window of the burning car.
