IPL 2024: Rishabh Pant Joins Delhi Capitals Camp First Time After Car Accident, Smashes Bowlers In Nets

Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant has joined the team’s camp for the upcoming season of Indian Premier League which is scheduled to start from March 22. The 26-year-old is out of cricketing action since 2022 as he met with an accident while driving back to home from New Delhi.

Pant missed the 2023 season of Indian Premier League and in his absence, Delhi even failed to qualify for the playoffs.

Delhi Capitals shared a clip where Rishabh Pant is wearing the team’s jersey and smashing the bowlers in nets. Here is the viral clip.

DC will be looking to improve their performance from last season after they finished in the ninth spot with 10 points. They registered five wins and lost nine games with a negative run rate of 0.808.

Pant has represented DC since 2016 and scored 2,838 runs in 98 matches at an average of 34.61 and a strike rate of over 147, with a century and 15 fifties to his name.

Pant has been cleared by the NCA to play as a wicketkeeper-batter. Delhi Capitals will start their IPL 2024 campaign against Punjab Kings on March 23 at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Cricket Stadium in Mohali, Punjab.
