Sharma further said, “A team of BCCI doctors is in constant touch with the medical team of Max Hospital and BCCI secretary Jay Shah is also monitoring the situation. As of now, he won’t be shifted from Dehradun. As far as the ligament injury in his right knee is concerned, he will take some time to recover. He will be provided the best possible treatment.” Bollywood actors Anupam Kher and Anil Kapoor, and fellow cricketer Nitish Rana also visited Pant at the hospital on Saturday morning. After meeting Pant and his family members, the two actors said that they visited him “as his fans and common citizens”.
