Watch: Rishabh Pant Gets A Standing Ovation On His Return To The Cricket Field – In the first match of the 2024 Indian Premier League, Royal Challengers Bangalore were defeated by Chennai Super Kings. At home today, Punjab Kings are facing off against Delhi Capitals in the first of a double header. Punjab Kings skipper Shikhar Dhawan chose to bat first after winning the toss, setting the scene for a thrilling match.

But in the middle of the madness, everyone was watching Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant’s incredible comeback to the cricket pitch. The remarkable comeback of Pant, affectionately known as “The Miracle Man,” is really remarkable. His near-death experience in an automobile accident in December 2022 occurred just sixteen months earlier. Still, Pant pulled off a stunning comeback, against the odds.

Pant is available to play wicketkeeper-batsman for Delhi Capitals after being declared totally fit in time for IPL 2024. His comeback has piqued the interest of fans even more, who can’t wait to see how he plays this year.

Fans and teammates were filled with confidence and enthusiasm just seeing him return to the game, even if he didn’t do much in this inning.
