India wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant has eased concerns over his fitness by returning to training at Dubai's ICC Academy, just a day after being struck by a Hardik Pandya shot during practice. Quick recovery According to a report carried by Times of India, Pant showed no lingering effects from Sunday's incident where a powerful slash from Pandya caught him on his left knee during net practice. The wicketkeeper-batter arrived for Monday's session without knee strapping and did not appear to be in discomfort while moving around. Modified training Taking a precautionary approach, Pant opted for a modified training routine. While teammates participated in high-catch drills, he focused on shadow batting exercises, later applying protective strapping before his session. Fan connection The 26-year-old's spirits appeared high as he interacted with supporters at the venue. The newly-appointed Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) captain obliged fans with autographs and selfies, with head coach Gautam Gambhir notably pleased with his progress.
