Watch: Rishabh Pant Shows His Frustration After Getting Out Cheaply In His Comeback Game – At home, the Punjab Kings faced off against the Delhi Capitals in the exciting second match of the 2024 Indian Premier League. The atmosphere was electric when Punjab Kings captain Shikhar Dhawan, who won the toss, chose to bat first, igniting a fierce rivalry.
However, all eyes were on Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant, who had made an incredible recovery from a near-fatal automobile accident in December 2022 and was eagerly looking forward to playing again. Pant, who went by the moniker “The Miracle Man,” returned to full fitness in the days leading up to the 2024 Indian Premier League, enabling him to play wicketkeeper and batter for Delhi Capitals.
The crowd went wild when Pant, batting at number four, faced his first delivery in 448 days. He scored 18 runs off 13 balls, but his innings was cut short because he couldn’t make much of an impact. Punjab Kings, meanwhile, were able to defeat Delhi Capitals by four wickets in their pursuit of 175 runs, mostly because of the brilliant efforts of Sam Curran and Liam Livingstone. Following an uneventful start, the innings was stabilised by Curran and Prabhsimran Singh. Following the rapid dismissals of Prabhsimran and Shashank Singh, Livingstone and Curran formed another vital partnership.
Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel were the bowling stars for Delhi, limiting the run rate and keeping their team in the game with two wickets each. Punjab Kings proved their mettle and perseverance in their first game of the 2024 Indian Premier League season by coming out on top against all odds.

The return of Rishabh Pant to the crease against Punjab Kings was much anticipated, but he failed to make a significant impression. His innings was limited to only 13 balls, despite the fact that he played some breathtaking shots. In the thirteenth over, Pant got out for only 18 runs due to Harshal Patel’s slower ball. Pant hit two fours in his limited time at the crease, keeping his strike rate around 140.
But Pant’s obvious annoyance after his departure was what really got people’s attention. As he sat in the dugout, his expression betrayed his apparent distress; he even made an effort to express his anger by striking out at Ricky Ponting, who was trying to console him.
