Pant was involved in a road accident in the wee hours of Dec 30 as he was driving from Roorkee to New Delhi.
Eyewitnesses and videos that surfaced later showed Pants car had caught fire but he was able to escape.
The Indian cricket board (BCCI) had confirmed that the southpaw had suffered injuries to his head, back and feet.
He had two cuts on his forehead, a ligament tear in his right knee and has also hurt his right wrist, ankle, toe and has suffered abrasion injuries on his back.
Pant was first admitted to Saksham Hospital near Delhi before being shifted to Max Hospital in Dehradun after his condition was stabilised.
The young cricketer was rescued by a truck driver who was travelling on the other lane of the road.
