Several fans took to social media to send their good wishes to Rishabh Pant, wishing him a speedy recovery:

Pant was a member of the Indian side that defeated Bangladesh in a Test series by a score of 2-0 earlier this month. His knocks of 46 and 93 had made an impression.

He was scheduled to join the National Cricket Academy for a strength and conditioning program in preparation for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy match against Australia in February but was recently cut from the T20I team named for the series against Sri Lanka.
