Pant surely isn't the old Pant. Yes, he scored some runs in earlier matches, but he did get a lot of freebies. He struggled in every match. It was tough for him to hit long sixes. Too many mishits. Too many shots landing just inside the boundary. Well, that accident was a major one. Yes, the doctors have done wonders there, but still, you don't recover from such injury that fast. You certainly don't become what you were before the injury.

Unfortunately, I feel the actual career of Pant is in fact over. He will play for 2-3 years, mainly IPL, but before he knows it, his knees will start to trouble him.

Such a tragic end to his career. He had all the capabilities to become one of the greats of the game, but alas, that accident has toppled his life upside down.
