Good news, but weight management is also big challenge for him, he was not lean before the accident.
Should follow good diet to reduce weight and so he won't be having trouble during Rehab.@bcci@RishabhPant17— Lokesh_Tweet (@Brahmin_Bull) June 14, 2023
Good to see but he is a very long way from playing any competitive cricket. I'd say he'll be back late 2024 at the earliest.

I wish him well, but there is no way Indian fans are hoping miracles from him
