      <title>Rishabh Pant narrowly escapes death after car accident</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;India wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant has been hospitalised after being involved in a car accident, his Indian Premier League (IPL) team said on Friday.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;em&gt;Hindustan Times&lt;/em&gt; reported that Pant’s car collided with a divider on the road and caught fire. He suffered injuries to his head, back and leg, multiple reports in Indian media said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His IPL team Delhi Capitals said the crash was in the northern state of Uttarakhand.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;    &lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch    media--uneven  media--stretch'&gt;
        &lt;div class='media__item  media__item--twitter  '&gt;&lt;span&gt;
    &lt;blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"&gt;
        &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/DelhiCapitals/status/1608674687722348547?"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
    &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        
    &lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Rishabh Pant met with an accident between Manglaur and Narsan in Haridwar district,” they said in a tweet. “He has now been shifted to a hospital in Dehradun after receiving primary treatment in a hospital in Roorkee.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The team did not give details on the 25-year-old’s injuries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Praying for Rishabh Pant. Thankfully he is out of danger,” former national team batsman VVS Laxman said on Twitter.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;    &lt;figure class='media  w-full  w-full  media--stretch    media--uneven  media--stretch'&gt;
        &lt;div class='media__item  media__item--twitter  '&gt;&lt;span&gt;

    &lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
        
    &lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pant was part of the test squad that sealed a 2-0 series victory over Bangladesh this month. He was not named in India’s Twenty20 and ODI squads for matches against Sri Lanka next month.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ricky Ponting, who is the coach of Delhi Capitals, also prayed for the speedy recovery of Pant.&lt;/p&gt;
