India’s wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant was last seen in cricketing action during the two-match Test series against the Bangladesh cricket team. He played explosive knocks against the Tigers in Chattogram and Dhaka respectively.
The southpaw scored a quickfire 45 off 44 balls including six fours and two sixes before he was bowled by Mehidy Hasan Miraz. The 25-year-old continued his good touch with the bat even in the second Test.
He chipped in with 93 runs where he hammered seven boundaries and five sixes to his name before being dismissed by Mehidy Hasan Miraz and it was also the sixth time that he was dismissed in the 90’s.
Rishabh Pant was not included in the white-ball squads for the Sri Lanka series and the decision to exclude him from both squads surprised many others in the cricket fraternity.

According to the information given by the police department, Rishabh Pant was driving a Mercedes GLE car all by himself but fell asleep for a few seconds before he lost control of the car.
As it turned out, he accidentally crashed into the divider railings on the highway, which triggered a sudden explosion in the first place. Fortunately, Rishabh Pant escaped from danger as he quickly jumped off a burning car on time.
As per the X-ray report, Rishabh Pant didn’t get burns and was not fractured. However, he suffered some injuries on his forehead, wear and tear on his back and a ligament tear in his knee.
