"It’s a huge boost for Delhi Capitals," Sourav Ganguly on Rishabh Pant's return

Rishabh Pant is all set to make his return to cricket after a lengthy spell of almost a year and a half where he was on the sidelines. The Indian wicket keeper suffered an accident when he was travelling back home in December 2022.

After missing all cricket in 2023, he is all set to return at IPL 2024. Director of Delhi Capitals, Sourav Ganguly believes this is a positive development for the franchise to have their captain back. He also believes this is good news for Team India ahead of the T20I World Cup in June/July.

“It’s a huge boost for Delhi Capitals because Indian players are gold in the IPL. Obviously, he has not played much cricket and I hope he gets back to rhythm very quickly. It’s been a while since he is away from competitive cricket, almost 17-18 months. He has worked very hard to make a comeback. He is confident and wants to play for Delhi Capitals and India. I am extremely happy he is back and hope he gets through the season,” Ganguly told RevzSportz.

“I met him (Rishabh) in Bangalore recently for the inaugural game of WPL. He was there. He is getting ready and hopefully will play in IPL 2024. He looked very confident about playing in the IPL 2024 which begins on March 22. And that’s seriously good news for us in Delhi and India,” he added.
