Rishabh Pant was once again on a cricket field after his automobile accident in December of last year. He traveled to the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday to watch Delhi Caps’ IPL 2023 home opener against Gujarat Titans. During the match, which was played in the IPL’s home-and-away format, the India wicketkeeper-batsman, who is expected to remain out of action for the majority of this year, was spotted sitting in the team owner’s box. I was returning while being soaked by the environment. Initially since 2019. Pant, whose right knee was extensively bandaged and who had undergone knee surgery in January, was wearing a white T-shirt and shorts.
During an IPL 2023 game, cricketer Rishabh Pant was pictured with Delhi Capitals co-owners Ruchir Grandhi and Parth Jindal, BCCI Vice President Rajeev Shukla, and BCCI Secretary Jay Shah (PTI).
The Delhi crowd participated in the celebration of Pant’s arrival by hoisting a large banner that read, “RP 17 we miss you.” Throughout its inaugural IPL season in 2016, the Delhi franchise has included Pant as a member.
For Pant to attend the game, the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) had made the appropriate preparations. “We set up a ramp and golf cart so Pant could go around easily. A DDCA representative added that it was wonderful to have him back on the ground.
Pant is currently receiving treatment for several injuries he got in December; he has just started walking again with the use of crutches. At the time of the collision, he was traveling by automobile from Delhi to Roorkee.
The team has worked hard to make Pant, who serves as the team’s permanent captain but is out for the entirety of the IPL season, feel like a member of the group. Pant’s jersey was hung on the dugout during Delhi Capitals’ first game against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in Lucknow.
Before the season began, Delhi Capitals head coach Ricky Ponting had stated, “I am hoping that I may have Pant sit next to me in the dugout for our home matches.” “We want to try to involve him as much as we can with Delhi Capitals. On the players’ jerseys or caps, we can also see their shirt numbers.
For Pant to be in the dugout, the franchise required approval from the BCCI’s Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU). For one of their games this season, the team will probably wear Pant’s jersey number, 17, on the players’ shirts.
This season, Australian opening batsman David Warner has taken over as captain in Pant’s place.
