Even though Delhi Capitals have confirmed that Rishabh Pant will captain the team next season, wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant’s participation in IPL 2024 is still in doubt, as he himself has said that he is not 100 percent fit right now. Last month, Rishabh Pant attended the Delhi Capitals camp held in Kolkata, where members of the support staff like Sourav Ganguly, Ricky Ponting and Praveen Amre were present. However, now Rishabh Pant has spoken about his fitness ahead of the IPL 2024 auction.
Rishabh Pant has not returned to professional cricket since a horrific car accident in late December 2022. It was believed that he will return to competitive cricket with IPL 2024. Delhi Capitals also announced this, but after spending a lot of time at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru, he didn’t quite fit in. It has been almost a year since his accident, but no concrete information about his comeback has come out yet. Cricinfo talked about Pant’s return to Delhi a week ago, but his role has not been decided.
This rule will be implemented in IPL 2024, which will act as a ‘Brahmastra’ for the bowlers.
There were reports that the franchise would be happy to see Rishabh Pant back as a batsman and captain. However, a captain’s role is more in fielding than batting. Now, while talking to the franchise ahead of the IPL 2024 mini-auction, Pant has broken his silence on his return. He has said that he is in much better shape than he was a few months ago, but still needs a few more months to regain 100 percent fitness. “It’s pretty good considering what I was doing a few months ago. I’m still recovering 100 percent, but hopefully in a few months I’ll be able to do it,” Pant said.
Rishabh Pant, who was present at the auction table in Dubai, when asked about his recovery, said, “It has been really surprising, because whenever we keep playing cricket, we feel that no one can help us.” Does not love, because there is too much pressure. Yes, it was a difficult time, but at least I got to know that people loved and respected me and the kind of concern they showed for me, openly and lovingly. Means a lot and has helped me a lot in recovery.”
