In a recent development, the prominent Indian batsman Rishabh Pant appears to be making progress toward recovery after a terrifying injury in 2022. He played a warm-up game in Alur, close to Bengaluru, which indicated that the Delhi Capitals were in the green, according to a report in Cricbuzz.
With hints of Pant’s possible leadership role for the Delhi Capitals in the 2018 IPL season, insiders from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and Pant’s IPL team are giddy with anticipation. But instead of taking on wicketkeeping duties, the 26-year-old will only concentrate on his batting abilities.
Rishabh Pant can still run and bat with the same zeal as before his injury
According to reports, demonstrating that his agility is unaffected. In addition to receiving treatment in London last month under arrangements made by the BCCI, Pant is currently undergoing rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru.
Even though the Delhi Capitals team is confident in Pant’s leadership abilities, they have chosen to take it safe and give another player the job of keeping wicket. David Warner led the team during the previous IPL season while Pant was away.
The BCCI hopes to begin the IPL on March 22 or 23.
Depending on the NCA authorities’ approval, Pant might make a comeback to the IPL. The dates of the general elections have not yet been announced by the Election Commission of India; hence, the IPL schedule is still tentative. The BCCI tentatively plans to begin the competition on March 22 or 23 and end it on May 26.
The possibility of Pant’s comeback adds to the enthusiasm among cricket fans as they eagerly anticipate the IPL 2024, which would be a major turning point in his recuperation process. Cricket fans are left wondering whether Pant’s explosive style of play will light up the field once more in the next season.
