He had undergone a major surgery post his car accident in January. TOI has learnt that the doctors and medical team overseeing Pant’s recovery are happy with the progress he has made in the last four months.
Pant had a major surgery on medial collateral ligament (MCL) and minor repair on anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The doctors were hoping that the rest of his injured ligaments would heal naturally. The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) was a cause for concern. The doctors had kept him under watch and told him there could be one mo re surgery. That was ruled out last week.
“Let’s make it clear that Pant never had multiple surgeries as was speculated. There was much anxiety over another surgery. He w as monitored every fortnight.
Fortunately, his progress has been better than expected. This is a big boost for him. It could mean his comeback can happen a lot earlier than what was first expected,” a BCCI source told TOI.
Pant is currently back at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru after spending time a t home in Delhi. “He is in good spirits. He can now walk considerably longer without a crutch. The focus of his rehab is now largely on strengthening. He should be in the back-to-play phase training soon,” the source added.
