Rishabh Pant will be out for a long time after his car met with a horrific accident near Roorkee.
The southpaw, who suffered major injuries on his forehead, back and knee, is admitted in Max Dehradun.
His ligament injury could take six months or more to heal, which means he is likely to miss the upcoming Test series against Australia.
According to the Times of India, AIIMS Rishikesh stated that ligament tear takes time.
The 25-year-old was traveling alone when his car hit one of the dividers. He managed to come out of the car and was helped by a bus driver and conductor.
