Injured wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant who was admitted at Mumbai's Kokilaben hospital following an accident in which his car ended up in flames, has shown good signs of recovery. According to Insidesport, Pant stood on his feet for the first time post surgery even though it was only for a few seconds. According to the doctors, Rishabh Pant will need a minimum of 4-6 months to recover completely. This means that the fans will have to wait for the most part of the year to see the cricketer back in action on the field.
