Rishabh Pant has been a star player for the Indian cricket Team and the Delhi Capitals. He is an exciting young talent who has already amassed a great fan following and has played some of the most match defining innings in his short career. The south paw is an aggressive batter who possesses some of the most unorthodox strokes. Whenever he come onto bat, the fans become excited to see some of the most audacious shots being played. Pant has made name for himself as an out and out match winner for his team. He has also proved his leadership mettle with Delhi Capitals in the IPL.
However, things took a bad turn in his life and career, when he suffered a near fatal car crash in December 2022. He was bed ridden for months and was not able to play cricket for one and half months. However, he did not get bogged down. He practiced really hard and showed the attitude of a warrior to make a comeback to cricket. Fans and analysts were excited to see him back as he took the cricket field in IPL 2024. He did not have good outing with the bat in the first two matches and his team lost those as well.
However, in the third game vs Chennai Super Kings in Vizag, Pant came up with a spectacular innings 51 runs off just 32 balls to mark his return to form. He hit five fours and three sixes during his innings as Delhi Capitals beat Chennai Super kings. It was also the first win for DC in IPL 2024. After the game Rishabh Pant talked about his comeback and how he is so happy to get among the runs.
Rishabh Pant said: “Bowlers have been clinical today. We’ve learnt from our mistake. He’s been working hard from last two weeks (Shaw). We thought it’s time to give him a chance and he flourished. It will depend on match to match, but if Mukesh can bowl at the death it’ll be great. As a cricketer I’ve to give my 100 percent. Took some time initially as I haven’t played much cricket in the last 1.5 years. This is something I’ve depended my life on. Always had the self-belief that whatever happens, it’s important to come back to the ground.”
