“I have spoken to his family and the doctors treating him. We are closely monitoring his progress and will provide him with all the necessary support.”

Delhi Capitals head coach and former Australia captain Ricky Ponting wished Pant a speedy recovery in a tweetexternal-link which read: “Hope you’re on the mend and back on your feet soon.”

Pant has played 33 Tests, 30 one-day internationals and 66 Twenty20s for India.
