Speculations swirled about Rishabh Pant\u2019s potential return in the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL) season, gaining momentum after the wicketkeeper-batsman was seen at a Delhi Capitals camp last month in Kolkata alongside key franchise figures, including Sourav Ganguly, Ricky Ponting, and Pravin Amre. Recent reports hinted at Pant not only making a comeback but also taking on the role of captain for Delhi Capitals.<\/p>\n
Pant, who has been sidelined since a car accident in December 2022 resulting in severe knee ligament injuries, addressed the rumors on the eve of the mini-auction in Dubai. The cricketer shared that he is in a significantly better condition than a few months ago but still needs a few more months to attain full fitness.<\/p>\n
Speaking about his recovery journey, Pant expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support he received during the challenging period. He acknowledged the love, respect, and concern shown by people, which played a pivotal role in his heartwarming and steady recovery.<\/p>\n
With time until March, Pant and Delhi Capitals have the flexibility to make the final call on his participation in IPL 2024. If he makes a return, it will mark Pant\u2019s maiden appearance since the Bangladesh tour in late 2022.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
