Rishabh Pant likely to be out of action for most of 2023: Report

Rishabh Pant will most likely not play any more cricket in 2023 due to the injuries suffered as a result of a car crash, a media report said. Pant suffered multiple injuries in a car crash on 30 December after his speeding car hit a divider and caught fire on the Delhi-Dehradun highway. The India wicket-keeper was driving from Delhi to his hometown Roorkee to surprise his family.

As per ESPNCricinfo, the latest medical update about the cricketer given to BCCI states that Pant has torn all three key ligaments in the knee, two of which were reconstructed recently while the surgery on the third is expected after six weeks. The reports also said that Pant could be out of action for at least six months and his lack of fitness could also hamper his chances of getting selected for the ODI World Cup in India in October-Novemeber. The cricketer also looks set to miss IPL 2023.

BCCI must also provide psychological support to Rishabh Pant: Abhinav Bindra

Earlier, former BCCI president Sourav Ganguly, who is set to join Delhi Capitals as Director of Cricket, had told Sports Today that Pant, who captains DC, will miss IPL 2023.

“Rishabh Pant will not be available for the IPL. I am in connection with Delhi Capitals. It will be a great IPL (for the team), we will do well but Rishabh Pant’s injury will affect the Delhi Capitals,” said Ganguly.

The BCCI in its statement had earlier said that Pant had suffered several injuries including a hurt wrist and ankle, a damaged ligament in his right knee, and abrasions on his back.

While the doctors have not given a timeline on how long will it take for Pant to resume training, it has been reported that BCCI and the selectors have considered that the wicketkeeper-batter would be out for a minimum of six months.

Pant, a mainstay in the Indian Test team, is currently being treated at the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani hospital in Andheri West, Mumbai after initially being treated in Uttrakhand.

Meanwhile, KS Bharat and Ishan Kishan have been named as the wicketkeeping options for the first half of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in absence of Pant.

Past masters of Indian badminton: Meena Shah defied norm to clinch dozen national titles before knee injury cut career short

In the history of women’s badminton in India, there have been three outstanding players who have each had the distinction of bagging the national singles title seven times in a row. The first of these was Meena Shah, who made the national crown her own between 1959 and ’65; the second was Madhumita Goswami-Bisht, who won the title in an unbroken reel of seven from 1984 to ’90, and ended up with ten singles crowns; and the third was Aparna Popat, who made it nine in a row between 1997 and 2005. Stroke artist Ami Ghia-Shah, who reached an unbelievable 15 national singles finals among the 36 summit clashes she managed in a 19-year career, has also been anointed national singles queen on seven occasions, but these were not in consecutive years. Ami won four consecutive titles from 1973 to ’76, and then again in 1979, ’80 and ’83. There is one thing that Aparna, Madhumita and Ami had in common – they have all been slim and trim during their reign at the top. Meena Shah, on the other hand
