Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital: Rishabh Pant is all set to make his long-awaited return to competitive cricket for the Delhi Capitals (DC) in the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) after obtaining the fitness certificate from the National Cricket Academy (NCA). Sources tracking the development have told IANS that Pant, who has been undergoing extensive rehabilitation at the NCA in Bengaluru since April last year, got his fitness clearance and left the NCA two to three days ago.

The IPL 2024 season will mark Pant's return to competitive cricket action since the two-match Test series in Bangladesh ended in December 2022. A couple of days after the series ended, Pant miraculously survived a near-fatal car crash while on the way to his hometown Roorkee on December 30, 2022. He was initially taken to Saksham Hospital Multispecialty and Trauma Centre, before being shifted to Max Hospital, Dehradun. On January 4, 2023, Pant was airlifted to Mumbai for surgery and further recovery at the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital in Andheri West, Mumbai.

Pant was operated upon for his right knee ligament injuries by Dr. Dinshaw Pardiwala, the head of the Centre for Sports Medicine, and Director of Arthroscopy & Shoulder Service, who also serves on the medical committee of the International Cricket Council (ICC). Since then, Pant has been on an extensive road to recovery which included hydrotherapy and physiotherapy sessions initially to become crutches-free in May. In April, he was also seen attending DC’s match against Gujarat Titans at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi.
