Early on Saturday morning, wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant was involved in an accident near Roorkee, Uttarakhand, and sustained injuries after his car collided with a road divider and afterwards caught fire. The incident happened as Pant, who is allegedly not in danger, was travelling from Delhi to his birthplace of Roorkee.

Pant was initially referred to a hospital in Dehradun after being initially hospitalised to a private facility in Roorkee. He apparently sustained head wounds as well as a ligament injury to his right ankle, according to police sources.

According to sources, Pant lost control of the vehicle, slammed against the barrier, and was then propelled out of the windscreen by the impact. Within seconds, the car was on fire and completely burnt. When the firefighters arrived, they put out the fire.
