Dr. Sushil Nagar, who treated Pant in emergency, said the cricketer didn’t suffer any fracture but there was a ligament injury on his knee which would require further investigations.
“When he was brought to our hospital, he was fully conscious and I spoke to him. He wanted to surprise his mother and was going back home,” Dr Nagar told PTI.
“He had two lacerations (blunt trauma) on his head but I didn’t put stitches. I have recommended him to Max Hospital where a plastic surgeon might see him.
“However reports of X Rays conducted at our hospital suggest that there are no bone injuries. Yes, there is a ligament tear on his right knee. How serious it is can only be detected after further investigation and detailed MRI done.”
Ligament injuries have various grades and it can take 2 to 6 months to regain complete fitness. The reports of CT scan of his brain and spinal cord have returned “normal” as per BCCI officials who are in constant touch with Max Dehradun.
Dr Nagar said the big bruises on his back, pictures of which have gone viral on social media, are not burn injuries.
