As per the medical update provided by the BCCI, the accident/car crash on December 30 had resulted in a tear in Pant’s three key knee ligaments – two of which were successfully treated surgically by the beginning of first week in January.
The third surgery, which was expected to take place in six weeks time has also reportedly been successful, and a Times of India journalist Arani Basu had, on February 10 confirmed that Pant has been discharged from the hospital by the beginning of February.
Update: Rishabh Pant was discharged last week itself. Doctors have given him some parameters to judge his recovery. He will be assessed in a few days if he attains those parameters. He is doing well and feeling at a better place already!

Rishabh Pant New Update
In the pictures posted by the aforementioned stars upon their visit to Pant’s residence, the latter is seen strapped on his right knee, and which seems still needs support for it (knee) to allow for as minimal movement as possible.

What is Rishabh Pant Injury Status before IPL 2023?
In case one is not aware, Pant will miss the entirety of IPL 2023 and the World Test Championship 2023 final which will take place soon after.
While the BCCI and the concerned doctors had ruled him out of Cricketing action for a minimum of six months on January 14, it is highly likely that he will also miss the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 to take part later this year.
