On December 30, around 5:30am, Pant, 25, suffered multiple injuries when his car collided with a road divider and caught fire on the Delhi-Dehradun highway. The horrific car accident happened between Manglaur and Narsan in the Haridwar district in the state of Uttarakhand as he was driving from Delhi to his hometown Roorkee. The cricketer went onto suffer two cuts on his forehead, a ligament tear in his right knee, ankle, toe and back.

He will be on the side-lines for an extended period and will miss the Test series against Australia and the 50-over ODI World Cup scheduled later this year. It is learnt that Pant has suffered three key ligament injuries in his knee – the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), and the medial collateral ligament (MCL). While the Indian wicket-keeper has already undergone surgery for two of his ligament injuries, another one is expected to take place in less than six weeks time to correct his ACL.
