Rishabh Pant Nears Full Fitness
India’s wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant is now close to achieving full fitness. The 25-year-old left-hander is currently at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru, undergoing rehabilitation. The option of a minor surgery was initially considered, but due to Pant’s remarkable recovery, doctors have decided against it.
Pant’s Recovery
Rishabh Pant was recently spotted at the Mumbai airport, and while the reason for his visit is not known, it is believed that he was there for consultation regarding his recovery. He had major surgery on his Media Collateral Ligament (MCL) and also injured his Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL). Even after the surgery, the possibility of a minor surgery was considered, but fortunately, the rest of the ligaments are healing naturally, thus ruling out the option.
Concerns Around Pant’s Posterior Cruciate Ligament
According to TOI, there were worries about Pant’s Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL). However, the doctors at the NCA are confident that the natural healing process will take care of the problem.
Conclusion
Rishabh Pant is now on the brink of achieving full fitness. His remarkable recovery has been a major factor in the doctors ruling out the option of a minor surgery. With the natural healing process taking care of the rest of the ligaments, Pant is now closer to returning to the field.
