Rishabh Pant is moved to Mumbai by BCCI for further rehabilitation: As we all know, the Indian star wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant met a severe car accident a few days back on December 30. Although he survived, he sustained serious injuries thereby. He was shifted to Max hospital in Dehradun after receiving primary treatment in a hospital in Roorkee.
According to a recent update, Rishabh Pant is transferred from Dehradun’s Max Hospital to Mumbai on Wednesday due to his ligament injuries, which required immediate intervention.
It should be noted that the 25-year-old suffered cuts to his forehead along with injuries to his back, knee, and ankle when his car struck a road divider close to Roorkee in Haridwar. When the horror happened, Pant was traveling from Delhi to Uttarakhand to surprise his mother.
The cricketer’s car hit the barrier when he attempted to dodge a pothole on the Delhi-Dehradun highway, according to Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, who met the injured player on Sunday at the Max Hospital Dehradun.
Dr. Dinshaw Pardiwala, who has previously cared for Athletes like Sachin Tendulkar, Yuvraj Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, and Ravindra Jadeja, will be in charge of the BCCI medical team treating Pant in Mumbai. Dr. Pardiawala is the Director of Arthroscopy and Shoulder Service at Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital and Medical Research Institute and the Director of the Centre for Sports Medicine.
BCCI has released a media advisory reading-
“The Board of Control for Cricket in India have made all the necessary arrangements to shift India wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant to Mumbai.
