The BCCI will reportedly handle Rishabh Pant’s ongoing medical care, and board secretary Jay Shah will personally monitor his progress.
An official from the Delhi & District Cricket Association (DDCA) said on Wednesday that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) would be responsible for Rishabh Pant’s ongoing medical care, with BCCI secretary Jay Shah keeping a close eye on the situation. “The BCCI will now pay for any future medical care Pant may need. Jay Shah personally will be monitoring his progress in care. The board may transfer him to the UK if they feel it’s necessary “, the DDCA official told ANI. DDCA director Shyam Sharma stated that Pant, who has been receiving care at a private hospital in Dehradun since his car accident on December 30, will be transferred to a Mumbai hospital today.
“His mom and I have been in touch. A ligament damage necessitates more care, thus we’re sending him to Mumbai “The statement was made by Sharma to ANI.
On Tuesday, Uttarakhand’s DGP Ashok Kumar said that his department is compiling a list of everyone who helped batsman Rishabh Pant after the accident, including Haryana Roadways bus driver Sushil Kumar and conductor Paramjeet Nain.
It has already been announced by Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, the DGP told ANI.
Dhami said on Sunday that the driver and operator of Haryana Roadways who saved the life of star cricketer Rishabh Pant will be honored by his administration on Republic Day.
When pressed for further, he added, “Both the driver and the operator put themselves in harm’s way to help save Rishabh Pant. In front of their very eyes, the Cricketer’s automobile rolled over twice (after hitting a divider and going up in flames on the Delhi-Dehradun highway). The employees at Haryana Roadways really came through in a pinch.”
On December 30, while on his way to surprise his mother, a 25-year-old was critically injured in a car accident near Roorkee; Chief Minister Dhami said that the state government would provide all help for his recovery.
According to reports, Pant was driving alone and had fallen asleep. After a near-fatal accident on December 30, the batsman luckily escaped with injuries that may require plastic surgery, including burns. He may be transported to Delhi for treatment. His car crashed into the barrier on the Narcan boundary of Roorkee near Hammadpur Jhal when he was driving back to Roorkee from Delhi.
The Indian cricketer has been brought to Max Hospital Dehradun with many injuries, including two wounds on his forehead, a ligament tear in his right knee, ankle, and toe, and a sprained back, according to a joint statement from the BCCI and the hospital.
On Saturday, DDCA director Shyam Sharma raised alarm about fans descending on the hospital where batsman Rishabh Pant is receiving treatment.
“There is a risk of infection if you encounter Pant, therefore you should try to avoid doing so. Because of the risk of infection for Pant, there should be no special guests or visitors coming to see him “Sharma said to ANI by phone.
The BCCI reported that Pant had received two wounds to the forehead, a torn ligament in his right knee, and injuries to his right wrist, ankle, and toe, as well as abrasions to his back.
