Former India skipper Sourav Ganguly on Tuesday hoped Rishabh Pant would soon recover from the injuries he sustained in his car crash and "be back on the path." The India wicketkeeper-batter met with a horrifying accident when he lost control of his car while driving on NH-58 on Friday. He is currently admitted at Max Dehradun with multiple injuries on head, back, knee and ankle.

"I wish him speedy recovery that's all I can say. You know things happen in life and you need to move on so hopefully he'll recover soon and be back on the path soon," Ganguly said on the sidelines of a promotional event here. Pant's injuries, especially the ones on knee and ankle, are expected to keep him out of action for a minimum period of six months. The former BCCI president, who is set to become Delhi Capitals' Director of Cricket, said Qatar has done a remarkable job of hosting the FIFA World Cup. "You know I follow football closely and I understand it a little bit also. I may have played cricket but I understand this sport a bit. I think this is the best football World Cup match I've seen in my life," Ganguly said.
