"The first X-rays suggest there is no fracture and there are no burns on Pant's body despite his car catching fire," it said.

“Pant has two lacerative wounds on his forehead, one right above the left eye; there is a ligament tear in the knee; and abrasions on his back.”

In addition, DDCA secretary Siddharth Sahib Singh had also released a statement on the incident. "We are all concerned but thankfully he is stable. We at DDCA are keeping a tab and wish him a speedy recovery," the DDCA secretary said, as quoted by PTI.

The Indian cricketer was part of the side's XI in its last appearance during the second Test against Bangladesh. Pant had played a key role in the side's revival in the match, scoring an important 93 and eventually aiding in India's three-wicket victory. The side won the series 2-0.

Pant was supposed to join a strength and conditioning programme at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru after being rested for the limited-overs series against Sri Lanka in January.
