Cricketers Suryakumar Yadav, Kuldeep Yadav and Washington Sundar, prayed for the speedy recovery of their teammate Rishabh Pant at Ujjain’s famed Mahakaleswar temple on Monday morning.

The Indian players, who are in Madhya Pradesh, for the third and final ODI against New Zealand, reached the temple early on Monday morning alongside the staff of the Indian cricket team.

Star batter Suryakumar Yadav said they offered prayers for Pant’s speedy recovery as his comeback is very important for the Indian team.

Suryakumar also commented on the final ODI against New Zealand saying that Team India was looking forward to the encounter at the Holkar Stadium in Indore.

Rishabh Pant was involved in a brutal car crash on December 30, 2022 as his car hit a divider on the Delhi-Dehradun highway. The swashbuckling wicketkeeper-batsman sustained grievous injuries in the crash and underwent a successful surgery for ligament tears in his leg in Mumbai.
