BENGALURU: A near fatal car accident in Dec 2022 and resultant injuries and rehab may have kept Rishabh Pant out of the game for over a year-and-a-half, but his gritty comeback has the support of the team management, which is 'extra careful' while handling the wicketkeeper batter's workload.
Rohit Sharma revealed that as a precautionary measure, Pant was not behind the stumps on the final day despite batting in India's second innings during his dazzling knock of 99.
