Suryakumar Yadav on Monday said that they've performed Bhasma Aarti at the Mahakaleshwar Temple in Ujjain for the “ speedy recovery ” of Rishabh Pant, who had a narrow escape on December 30, when his auto crashed into a road separator near Roorkee and caught fire.

Indian cricketers Suryakumar Yadav, Kuldeep Yadav, and Washington Sundar along with members of the Indian platoon’s support staff offered prayers at the Shree Mahakaleshwar tabernacle in Ujjain.

“ We supplicated for the speedy recovery of Rishabh Pant. His comeback is veritably important to us. We've formerly won the series against New Zealand, looking forward to the final match against them, ” Suryakumar told ANI.

Pant had suffered multiple injuries when his auto collided with a road separator on the Delhi- Dehradun trace last Friday. The 25- time-old, who was going from Delhi to his home in Uttarakhand’s Roorkee, was first taken to an original sanitarium before being shifted to Dehradun.

Pant is anticipated to take “ further than four months ” to recover and about six months to return to the pitch. This means the star wicketkeeper-batsman will miss the home Test series against Australia and the IPL.
