A few months before the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in 2024, Rishabh Pant is optimistic about making a complete comeback to competitive cricket in the Indian Premier League (IPL), according to head coach of the Delhi Capitals Ricky Ponting.
Rishabh Pant, an important member of the Indian team, suffered injuries in a terrible vehicle accident in December 2022, which prevented him from playing local or international cricket. He was absent from two of India’s most important international tournaments, the 2023 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup and the ICC World Test Championship Final.
Pant was optimistic about returning to full fitness and having a significant impact on the forthcoming IPL season despite the difficult path to recovery. Before the T20 World Cup in the West Indies and the USA, the T20 competition will be the penultimate game for India’s international players.
Speaking in Melbourne subsequent to announcing his position as the coach of the Washington Freedom (a Major League Cricket side), Ponting—the head coach of Pant’s Delhi Capitals team—discussed the 26-year-old’s chances in the next season.Rishabh is extremely sure he’ll be ready to play, according to Ponting. We’re not really clear what capacity it will serve. He’s out and about and active on social media, as you would have noticed.
We’ll just cross our fingers and hope he’s able to play outside. Whatever games you can get out of him will be a bonus, even if we can manage him through 10 of the 14 games or whatever that might be.”Before making a final return to the national team, Pant’s performance in the IPL will serve as a barometer. The athlete, who plays a variety of roles for the squad and has 4123 runs and 25 fifty-plus scores in international cricket, is expected to have an impact at the next T20 World Cup, according to the Indian management.
