“I hope you are recovering well. Dekh raha hu tere videos ab dhire dhire chal raha hae (Can see you videos are going well now). Baby steps are coming now. Really happy to see how you are recovering,” said Delhi Capitals opener Prithvi Shaw in the video.
“We will be playing back in Delhi after 3-4 years. We will be missing you. I can see how well you ae recovering. You are doing recovery pool for half an hour, so that’s a bog thing,” added vice-captain Axar Patel.
Delhi’s West Indian recruit Rovman Powell promised to win for Pant. “I hope you recover well. I know you are supporting us and we will try to win it for you brother,” said Powell.
Meanwhile, it is reported that Pant is likely to watch the team’s first home game against Gujarat Titans on Tuesday from the Feroz Shah Kotla stands. He might also sit in the dug-out if the franchise can secure requisite permission from the BCCI’s Anti-Corruption and Security Unit (ACSU).
During the match played between Delhi and Lucknow, the team had hung Rishabh Pant’s number 17 jersey in the dugout to make Rishabh Pant feel his presence. Let us tell you that even before the start of IPL 2023, the Delhi team had made it clear that Pant’s jersey would remain with them throughout the season. At the same time, team coach Ricky Ponting had said that he would try to bring Rishabh Pant to the stadium to boost the morale of the team. The coaching staff and Honor of the team are also missing their regular captain.
Rishabh Pant’s car collided with the railing near Hammadpur Jhal on Roorkee’s Narsan border at around 5.30 am on 30 December 2022. After this accident, the car caught fire and Pant was seriously injured in the accident. After this incident, he was admitted in Dehradun, after which he was airlifted to Mumbai. Let us tell you that Pant’s knee and ankle ligament tear surgery was done. Rishabh Pant will take a long time to return to the match at the moment.
