According to The Times of India, local police superintendent Swapn Kishor Singh said: “Pant sustained injuries on his forehead, a hand and right knee. However, he is conscious and able to talk.

“The car he was driving was completely burnt. He is lucky to survive the severe accident.”

Pant was driving alone in his Mercedes GLE when the smash occurred.

The Indian wicketkeeper’s car struck railings on the motorway between Delhi and Haridwar at around 5:30am local time.

This smash caused the car to flip multiple times, catching fire as it went.

Recounting the incident, Singh added: “Hearing a loud sound of the accident, nearby villagers along with the local cops, rushed to the spot and pulled him out the car.

“He was then rushed to a nearby hospital from where he was referred to a major hospital in Dehradun.”
