Rishabh Pant’s first social media post since horrific car accident, read here
Taking to Instagram, Rishabh Pant has posted a note for fans and well-wishers, giving an update on his surgery and recovery.
Cricketer Rishabh Pant took to social media for the first time since his horrific road crash back in early hours on December 30, 2022. The Team India star met a major road mishap when his luxury car struck a divider on the Delhi-Dehradun flyover before erupting in flames. Pant survived the crash but was seriously injured, suffering burns on his body and torn ligaments.
Taking to Instagram, Pant posted a note for fans and well-wishers, giving an update on his surgery and recovery. His note said, “ I am humbled and grateful for all the support and good wishes. Just wanted to let everyone know that my surgery was successful, and I am grateful to be on the road to recovery.”
“My spirits are high, and I’m feeling better every day and I want to extend my gratitude to all of you for your kind words, support and positive energy during this difficult time,” the wicketkeeper-batter added.
Pant will be on the sidelines for an extended period following the surgery. Pant had torn all three knee ligaments - the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), and the medial collateral ligament (MCL) - for which the surgery was done in Mumbai to repair two of the ligaments. He is reportedly still to undergo another surgery on his ACL which is expected to be done in around six weeks.
