Rishabh Pant Nearing Full Fitness
India’s wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant is close to regaining his full fitness. The left-hander is now back at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru, continuing his rehabilitation. The 25-year-old was expected to have another minor surgery, but his recovery has been so successful that doctors have ruled out that option.
Pant’s Visit to Mumbai
Rishabh Pant was spotted at Mumbai Airport last week. The exact reason for his visit is unknown, but it is assumed that he was in the city to consult about his recovery. The 25-year-old had a major operation on his MCL (Media Collateral Ligament) and also damaged his ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament). Even after the surgery, another minor operation was considered in the weeks after the original procedure. Luckily for Pant, the other ligaments are healing naturally, and that option has been eliminated.
Concerns Around Pant’s PCL
According to TOI, there were worries about Pant’s posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). However, with his recovery going well, it looks like the cricketer is on track to make a full recovery.
Conclusion
Rishabh Pant is making great strides in his recovery from his MCL and ACL injuries. He has been able to avoid the need for a second minor surgery and is now continuing his rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru. With his recovery progressing, it looks like Pant is well on his way to regaining his full fitness.
