Rishabh Pant has been in great form in Test cricket. He made a game-changing 46 in the first Test against Bangladesh and later made a stunning 93 in the second Test when India were in a spot of bother. He has looked a different beast in Test cricket, but he has had a hard time scoring runs in T20s and ODIs. Pant had to go to the National Cricket Academy before the all-important Test series against Australia.

India Cricketer Pant survived a close shave after his car collided with the divider on the Delhi- Dehradun Expressway.  Pant was driving to Roorkee to pay a surprise visit to his folks but he fell asleep while driving which led to the accident. Pant, who was injured, broke the windscreen and escaped just before the car caught fire.

He was initially examined at Roorkee’s civil hospital before he was moved to Deheradun’s max hospital where he is being looked at and examined. Jay Shah, the secretary of the Indian Cricket Board has said that he contacted Pant’s family and also gave a note about Pant’s condition. He said that the Indian Cricket Board will do everything to make Pant hale and hearty again.

The doctors are treating him well- Dr Ashish Yagnik

"My thoughts and prayers are with Rishabh Pant as he fights his way back to recovery. I have spoken to his family and the doctors treating him. Rishabh is stable and undergoing scans. We are closely monitoring his progress and will provide him with all the necessary support," Shah said in a tweet. Pant had to report to the National Cricket academy ahead of the Australia Test series.

According to reports, Pant has sustained lacerations on his forehead, one just above his right eye. He also has suffered a ligament tear on his knee and abrasions on his back. He is in consciousness and is said to be stable. An official statement from the hospital stated that a detailed report concerning Pant is expected to be out after a proper examination is done on him.

"Cricketer Rishabh Pant was admitted to the hospital and initially, a team of doctors is looking after him. He is being evaluated, but only after some examinations will we be able to come up with a detailed report. He is stable and there doesn't seem to be anything concerning. Once the team is through with their evaluation, we will release an official bulletin. The team is speaking to him as well - the orthopaedics and plastic surgeon are in constant touch with him. As of now, there doesn't seem to be any serious injury," Dr Ashish Yagnik told the media outside the hospital.
