I know you have been a fighter and things are not the way you would have liked, but life is life. You will break all the doors and make a comeback as you have always done. My love and wishes are with you. The whole team and nation are behind you,” said Hardik.

Suryakumar Yadav also said, “Wishing you a speedy recovery. I know what the situation is right now. We miss you here and cannot wait to have you back. You have always been a fighter on-field and I know you will be back soon.”

Leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal also wished Pant a speedy recovery from the accident. “Get well soon, we will hit fours and sixes together,” he added.

Pant ‘is doing well and has been shifted to a private suite due to fear of infection’, revealed Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) Director Shyam Sharma on Monday. Team India will take Sri Lanka in the first T20I match at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Tuesday (January 3).
