India’s star cricketer, Rishabh Pant, has been on the road to recovery following a life threatening car accident in December 2022. The wicketkeeper-batsman has been undergoing physiotherapy sessions and has shared several updates on his health status on social media.
In a recent video, Pant was seen walking in a pool with the help of crutches. He took ginger steps and spent a considerable amount of time in the water. Pant is still using a walking stick, but the bandages on his legs have been removed. This is a positive sign that he is leaving no stone unturned in his recovery.
Here are some key takeaways from Pant’s recent health update : Rishabh Pant Health Update: India Star Takes Baby Steps Towards Recovery
- Pant is doing all he can to return to full fitness.
- Underwater running and walking have proven helpful for athletes in terms of fitness and injury recovery.
- Walking in a pool reduces stress on the body and increases the weight-bearing ability of the joints.
- Pant has undergone surgery on his knee and ankle under BCCI supervision.
- The 25-year-old cricketer is taking his time to recover and has been ruled out of IPL 2023 and most likely the 2023 World Cup.
Despite the setback, Pant remains positive and grateful for the small things in life. “Grateful for small things, big things and everything in between,” he said in his social media post.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has not given any specific date for Pant’sreturn, and it could be anything between two to six months depending upon the grade of the ligament tear. However, it’s clear that Pant is doing everything he can to return to the field as soon as possible.
