Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted that he was distressed by the news of Rishabh Pant’s car accident, while others like Sachin Tendulkar wished him a speedy recovery
Wishes and prayers poured in from all quarters for star India cricketer Rishabh Pant who had a narrow escape after meeting with a horrific accident on the Delhi-Dehradun highway, on Friday.
The 25-year-old, who is currently out of the Indian squad for the upcoming white-ball home series against Sri Lanka, sustained injuries on his head, back and feet after his car collided with a road divider while he was driving back home to Roorkee.
He is said to be in "stable" condition.
“Distressed by the accident of noted cricketer Rishabh Pant. I pray for his good health and well-being,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi wrote on Twitter.
"Wishing you a very speedy recovery. My prayers are with you," tweeted cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar as his former teammates also joined him in posting their messages for the dashing keeper-batter.
Former India batter and National Cricket Academy chief VVS Laxman said: "Praying for Rishabh Pant. Thankfully he is out of danger. Wishing @RishabhPant17 a very speedy recovery. Get well soon Champ."
"Wishing dear Pant a super speedy recovery. Bahut hi Jald swasth ho jaao," tweeted former India opener Virender Sehwag.

Pakistan coach Gary Kirsten stated that “not so great decision making” contributed to his side’s defeat to India in the Group-A T20 World Cup clash here on Sunday. The batting unit came apart in the chase, after being well placed at 72 for two. With 48 runs needed from eight overs, Pakistan found a way to panic and lose. “Maybe not so great decision making,” Kirsten said at the post-match press conference, when asked to explain the loss.

“We are judges and therefore, cannot act like Mughals of a bygone era ... the writ courts in the guise of doing justice cannot transcend the barriers of law,” the High Court of Karnataka observed while setting aside an order of a single judge, who in 2016 had extended the lease of a public premises allotted to a physically challenged person to 20 years contrary to 12-year period stipulated in the law.
