Rishabh Pant IPL 2024: Star India wicketkeeper batter Rishabh Pant has been out of cricketing action after he met with a major car accident in December 2022. The young cricketer suffered multiple injuries and didn’t play any kind of professional cricket for almost years. However, Pant has been recording fast and is expected to take on the field very soon.
Many believe that Rishabh Pant will make his comeback by playing in the IPL 2024 for Delhi Capitals (DC). He is also retained by the franchise ahead of the 2024 auction. Pant is the skipper of DC but missed the previous season in 2023 due to his accident. In his place, Australia’s David Warner took over the charge as the skipper but didn’t have a memorable outing as DC finished in the ninth position at the points table. It looks like DC surely missed their regular skipper in the IPL 2023. Now, fans will be elated if Pant makes his comeback in the upcoming season. Let’s have a look at Rishabh Pant’s IPL career.
Rishabh Pant IPL Team, Price & Salary 2024
Rishabh Pant made his IPL debut in 2016 for Delhi Capitals (formerly known as Delhi Daredevils). He came as a promising youngster after a great outing in the U-19 Cricket World Cup that year. However, he had an average season on his IPL debut but was continuously backed by the franchise throughout and went on to become one of the crucial players for DC. Pant then also took over the role of the captain of the franchise in 2021 after Shreyas Iyer missed out due to a shoulder injury. In his debut season as the captain, Pant led DC to the top of the points table in that season. Here’s a look at Rishabh Pant’s IPL journey so far.
