Rishabh Pant is currently at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bangalore where he is undergoing rehabilitation and recovery process for the injuries he sustained in the car accident in December last year.
Rishabh Pant has made a surprisingly speedy recovery and even played a short practice match earlier this month with some fans in attendance.
One of the key factors in his quick recovery from the injuries and its surgery is the food that he’s been told to eat. The 25-year-old’s diet plan has been revealed. It has been learned that MS Dhoni recommended his own personal dietician Shweta Shah to Rishabh Pant and she’s been advising the young wicket-keeper on his diet post-surgery.
This way MS Dhoni has helped Rishabh Pant in his recovery.

Shweta Shah has made some changes to Pant’s previous diet as he was having trouble digesting his favorite chicken dishes. On Shwera’s suggestions, he is now taking De-bloat and home-cooked food for nutrition, which has helped him greatly in digestion.
“It helped activate his jathar agni (ayurvedic digestive fire). If that fire is small, then the food will not digest properly, which was the case with Rishabh. It had to be activated, as whatever was eaten, had to be absorbed, digested, and assimilated properly to get the required nutrients. Taking de-bloat powder had no side effects and helped manage his stress too,” Shweta told IANS.
Shweta Shah further explained what changes and additions she had to make to Rishbah Pant’s diet after his surgery to make him recover quickly. She added that home-cooked food was highly recommended to him.
“We commenced with chicken curry with rice and Thai chicken curry with rice. He doesn’t like fish, so eggs and avocados were given for breakfast. He really loves parathas, which were made gluten-free along with rotis. For another 15 days, we refrained from giving him wheat, dairy, and paneer. Once a month passed by, paneer was given.”
“Many believe he’s wealthy and can heal by taking any medication. But his food has been very simple and home-cooked, helping him to recover well, and it’s something Rishabh agrees with.”
When will Rishabh Pant make a comeback? Will he play in World Cup?
No, Rishabh Pant will not play in the World Cup 2023. But Pant could make his comeback early next year. He might not play in the England Test series, but we could see him in the IPL next year.
