This video is believed to have been shot by passers-by who were present at the time. People on the street can be heard saying,
“Look here, brother, the car has caught fire, this man… he was in an accident this morning.”
Earlier, the 25-year-old was not included in the Indian ODI and T20 squads for the upcoming series against Sri Lanka.
Pant was anticipated to play a pivotal role in the series that may determine whether India can qualify for the World Test Championship final for a second consecutive year when Australia tours India for a four-Test series early in the following year.
