This has led to widespread speculation about his availability for Champions Trophy 2025, as Pant is a key player in India's squad.

How Did Rishabh Pant Get Injured? Reports Reveal Details

According to various media reports, the injury occurred when Hardik Pandya hit a powerful shot during a net session, and the ball directly struck Pant’s knee. He was seen in immense pain, and the support staff provided immediate medical assistance. However, in a sign of resilience, Pant later resumed practice with a bandage on his knee.

Rishabh Pant’s Past Injuries and Their Impact on India's Performance

Experts believe Pant’s injury raises serious concerns for India’s performance in the Champions Trophy 2025. They highlight his past struggles, particularly his horrific December 2022 car accident, which kept him away from international cricket for a long time. Since his return, he has worked hard to regain full fitness, and another injury at this stage could be a massive blow.

With Jasprit Bumrah already injured and Rishabh Pant’s condition uncertain, Team India faces a challenging road ahead. Fans are hoping for a speedy recovery for Pant so that he can play a crucial role in India’s Champions Trophy 2025 campaign. The Indian team management will closely monitor his fitness in the coming days before making any decisions.
