WATCH: Indian Cricket Team wishes wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant a speedy recovery

Rahul Dravid, the head coach of team India, wished Rishabh Pant a swift recovery, along with stand-in T20I skipper Hardik Pandya, vice-captain Suryakumar Yadav, and leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal ahead of the series against Sri Lanka. After being involved in a car accident on Friday, Rishabh Pant was taken to the hospital sustaining multiple injuries.

Several teammates addressed the dynamic wicketkeeper-batter in a video that the Indian Cricket Board posted. He is currently being treated at Max Dehradun for head, back, knee, and ankle injuries. Rahul Dravid, the head coach, started the video by talking about Pant’s tough personality.

“Hey Rishabh, hope you are doing well. Over the one last year, I have had the privilege of seeing you play some of the greatest innings played in Indian cricket Test history. Whenever we have been in difficult situations, I know you have got that character and got the ability to get yourself out of very difficult situations. This is just one such challenge and I know you are going to bounce back like you have done so many times this (last) year. Look forward to having you back soon buddy,” said Dravid.
