Indian cricket star Rishabh Pant badly injured in horrific car accident

India cricket star Rishabh Pant has cheated death following a horror car crash early Friday morning which saw his vehicle flip multiple times and burst into flames.

Police said the wicketkeeper-batsman, who was alone in the car when it crashed in the northern state of Uttarakhand, had lost control of the vehicle when he 'dozed off'.

The car hit the median strip and flipped over twice, police claimed, while photographs taken in the aftermath of the crash showed the twisted and charred remains of the vehicle.

Pant, 25, is one of the star players of Indian Premier League team Delhi Capitals and was part of the India test squad that sealed a 2-0 series victory over Bangladesh earlier this month.
