Fans are eagerly waiting for the return of Rishabh Pant. Pant was seriously injured in a car accident in December 2022 and has been unable to return to professional cricket since then. Now Pant has almost completely recovered from the injury and is ready to return to the field. Pant is expected to return to the cricket field on March 23 until IPL 2024. The tournament will feature a match between Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings on March 23.
Pant is working hard to return to the world of cricket. Recently, he shared a video on social media in which he can be seen keeping wicket and batting. The Indian wicketkeeper-batsman seemed comfortable in both the attire. In such a situation, the hope of his return grows even more. However, nothing has been officially said from Delhi about Pant’s return.

However, many media reports have claimed that Pant can play as captain and batsman in the IPL. That said, it is possible that Pant will not be seen keeping wickets for Delhi, but official information is yet to come. Now it will be interesting to see whether Pant actually returns to the cricket field through IPL or not. When he returns, there is also the question of what role he will play.
We tell you that Delhi Capitals’ David Warner has been named captain for IPL 2023 in the absence of Rishabh Pant. Warner’s captaincy proved bad for Delhi. Under the leadership of the Australian batsman, Delhi finished 9th in the IPL 2023 points table. The team managed to win only 5 games in 14 league matches.
