India wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant has been airlifted to a hospital in Mumbai to undergo surgery after he was involved in a horrific car crash that saw his Mercedes SUV go up in flames.
Pant, who has made more than 100 appearances of India across all formats, was driving home to Uttarakhand to spend New Years with his mother when police said he "dozed off" and lost control of the vehicle.
The car flipped over twice and crashed into a road divider before bursting into flames, with Pant rescued by bystanders and avoiding any life-threatening injuries. The 25-year-old was taken to a local hospital in Roorkee before being moved to one in Dehradun.
