As said in the Times of India report, a source close to the Indian Cricket Board said: “All the ligaments were injured. The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is a cause of concern. The doctors said that MCL surgery was absolutely necessary. Now his PCL will be assessed in two weeks. Hopefully, it will not need any further surgery. As of now, he essentially has undergone just one major surgery."

The source also added that two more months are required to assess the return of Rishabh Pant into the game.“The ligaments usually heal in four to six weeks. After that rehab and strengthening will begin. His return to play will be assessed in another two months. He will have to undergo counseling sessions too, it could be four to six months before he can start playing," the report stated further.
