BCCI planning to fast track Rishabh Pant’s rehab after rapid recovery

Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant, who was involved in a horrific car crash at the fag end of 2022, delighted fans with his progress in his latest social media posts. Surprised by the star batter’s rapid recovery, BCCI is reportedly planning to fast-track his rehab in an attempt to get him fit for the ODI World Cup later in 2023.

Rishabh Pant, who is currently continuing his rehab at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) along with compatriots Jasprit Bumrah, Shreyas Iyer and Prasidh Krishna, recently shared a video of his mobility exercises. While the young dasher is largely pain-free, he is still quite a fair distance away from making his full recovery, according to physio S Rajnikanth.

The young dasher sustained multiple injuries after his car accident and was expected to miss the entirety of cricket action in 2023. While the Delhi Capitals’ skipper missed the 16th edition of the Indian Premier League and also sat out India’s World Test Championship Final against Australia, his recovery rate has provided a glimmer of hope to the Indian fans for the upcoming ODI World Cup.
