Pant met with an accident, where the 25-year-old lost control of his Mercedes car while driving from Delhi to Rourkee on the morning of December 30, 2022. His car hit the divider near Mohammadpur Jat in the Manglaur area.

While X-Ray and CT scan reports ruled out any fractural, brain or spinal injuries, the multiple ligament tears in his knee and ankle will most likely keep him out for an extensive period. It could be anything between two to six months depending upon the grade of the ligament tear.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has not given any specific date for Pant’s return.
