BCCI was keen to have its panel of doctors get a closer look at Rishabh Pant's injuries to rule out any future complications

A day after Rishabh Pant was airlifted to Mumbai from Dehradun for treatment, The Indian Express reported on Thursday that the cricketer required urgent surgery on one of the two knee ligaments he tore during the road accident on December 30.

The 25-year-old star wicket keeper-batsman had rammed his car into a road divider reportedly to avoid a pothole on NH-58 when he was driving from Delhi to his hometown Roorkee. He suffered injuries on his forehead, knee and ankle in the accident. He was first taken to a local hospital and then shifted to Dehradun.
