The Hindustan Times reported that Pant’s car collided with a divider on the road and caught fire. He suffered injuries to his head, back and leg, multiple reports in Indian media said.
His IPL team Delhi Capitals said the crash was in the northern state of Uttarakhand.
“Rishabh Pant met with an accident between Manglaur and Narsan in Haridwar district,” they said in a tweet.
“He has now been shifted to a hospital in Dehradun after receiving primary treatment in a hospital in Roorkee.”
