However, uncertainties loomed over Pant’s role upon his return, with conjectures rife about his potential impact post-injury. Nevertheless, Parth Jindal, the astute co-owner of DC, has put such doubts to rest, affirming Pant’s pivotal position as a specialist batter in the team’s arsenal for the initial phase of the IPL.

Jindal added, “Rishabh is batting. He’s running. He has started his wicket-keeping. He is likely to be fully fit for the IPL. I am expecting Rishabh to play IPL and he will lead from match one. First seven games, we are going to play him only as a batter and depending on how his body reacts, we will take a call for the rest of the IPL.”

As anticipation mounts and excitement reaches a crescendo, the Delhi Capitals are gearing up for a sensational start to their campaign, set to unleash Pant’s explosive prowess on the cricketing stage once again.
