Young Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant has been shifted from the ICU to the private ward of the Max Hospital in Dehradun following an improvement in his condition. Sources said that he was moved to the private ward on Sunday evening as his situation improved, but the pain in his leg persists. No MRI is planned yet, they added. Pant was admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of the hospital hours after the wicketkeeper-batsman suffered multiple injuries in a car accident on the Delhi-Dehradun highway, near Roorkee, in the early hours of Friday. Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, who met Pant at the hospital on Sunday, had said, quoting the cricketer, that he had lost control of his car while trying to avoid a pothole and something black on the road.
