Rishabh Pant, the young Indian wicketkeeper batter, had made a name playing for India. He dazzled the fans with his audacious stroke-making and bold approach. In his short career, he had already become the most important Test player for India. He had won countless matches for India in test cricket, both at home and in overseas conditions. He has a match-winning hundred in all corners of the world, and his career graph was already on the rise. Every time he came on to bat, the fans were filled with anticipation to see their favourite player take the game away from the opposition.
He also performed admirably well as a young leader in the Indian Premier League while leading the Delhi Capitals. The young Indian wicketkeeper batter had become the most important member of his national team and also his IPL team. However, his career came to a standstill, when he suffered a near-fatal car crash in December 2022. He sustained multiple injuries and has been out of cricket since then. He was bedridden for months before he could barely stand.
IPL 2024: Rishabh Pant Will Play As A Pure Batter For Delhi Capitals
He missed out on the IPL 2023 last season. However, in the last few months, he has been seen practicing actively. He has already revealed that he is eyeing a comeback in the IPL 2024, which is slated to start in less than a month. Fans are waiting patiently to see one of their favourite players back on the cricket field.
Now, recent reports from reliable SportsTak have emerged, which state that Pant has received clearance from the NCA and is declared absolutely fit for IPL 2024. Furthermore, he is ready to make his comeback for the Delhi Capitals in the IPL in 2024. However, given the grave injuries that he sustained, Delhi Capitals won’t take a chance with him. So, Pant will play all 14 matches in the group stages of IPL 2024 as a pure batter and not serve his role as the wicketkeeper, which requires extra strain.
