BCCI to airlift Rishabh Pant from Dehradun to Mumbai for immediate ligament tear surgery

BCCI is leaving no stone unturned regarding Rishabh Pant’s health. It will airlift the Indian wicketkeeper-batsman from Dehradun to Mumbai for further treatment.

 

Pant is currently recovering after a horrific car accident in the wee hours of December 30, 2022. The star Indian wicketkeeper was at Max Hospital in Dehradun after a miraculous escape from his burning car. But he will now be admitted to Mumbai’s Kokilaben Hospital for further treatment.

 

“The BCCI have made all the necessary arrangements to shift India wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant to Mumbai. Rishabh, who is currently receiving treatment for his injuries at Max Hospital, Dehradun following a car accident on 30th December, will be brought to Mumbai in an air ambulance,” BCCI said in a statement.

 

“He will be admitted to Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital and Medical Research Institute and will be under the direct supervision of Dr Dinshaw Pardiwala, Head – the Centre for Sports Medicine, and Director – Arthroscopy & Shoulder Service at the hospital. Rishabh will undergo surgery and subsequent procedures for ligament tears and will continue to be monitored by the BCCI Medical Team throughout his recovery and rehabilitation,” BCCI said in a statement.

 

It further said, "The Board will make every effort to aid and expedite the recovery process of Rishabh and will provide him with all the support he needs during this period."
