Wicketkeeper-batsmen Rishabh Pant who recently underwent ligament tear surgery was mobilised from bed for the first time after the surgery. With the help of support, he got up from his bed for a few seconds, as per the sources. Experts who treat athletes for such injuries, say that it will take at least four to six months to get back on the field, however, it also depends upon the person-to-person, required medical infrastructure, and physio.

Rishabh Pant met with an accident on December 30, after which he was taken to Max hospital in Dehradun for treatment. However, the BCCI, later on, shifted him to a Mumbai-based private hospital for further treatment.
