Rishabh Pant Accelerates Recovery, Starts Facing 140kph-Plus Balls In Nets

STAR cricketer Rishabh Pant, who is recuperating from injuries sustained in a horrific car accident in December last year, is recovering at a faster-than-expected pace, which has even surprised the BCCI and medical staff at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru.

As per a recent report from RevSportz, Pant has now started facing 140kph-plus fast deliveries in the nets at the NCA. He was only playing throwdown up to last month but the speed of the balls has only increased with the passing weeks.

“Rishabh has been making a fine recovery. He has started to take on deliveries with a speed excess of 140 kmph. We all are delighted with the way he has been crossing every hurdle in his recovery. He is keeping well. His next target will be to focus on larger and quicker body movements, which we aim to achieve in the next couple of months,” a source at the NCA told RevSportz.

KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer are currently at the NCA too and are working on their respective rehabilitation. Rahul is closer to gaining full recovery and is most likely to return to action in International cricket with the upcoming edition of Asia Cup 2023.

KL Rahul is now “completely fit and available for selection and could return to Team India for the Asia Cup 2023” stated a TOI report.

“The coaches and medical experts at the BCCI’s National Cricket Academy in Bangalore are satisfied with Rahul’s progress/recovery. He will be available for selection for the Asia Cup,” the report further added.
