IPL 2024: Green signal to Rishabh Pant, DC coach Ricky Ponting made a special plan
Rishabh Pant IPL 2024 Delhi Capitals : IPL 2024 is now getting closer. It will start from March 22. The first match of this year is to be played between RCB and CSK. That means MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli will face each other again. However, the captain of Royal Challengers Bangalore is now Faf Duplessis. Meanwhile, fans are waiting to know how Rishabh Pant will return. Rishabh Pant was injured in a road accident in December 2022, since then he has been continuously away from the cricket field. But it is believed that he will return from the Indian Premier League. Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals head coach Ricky Ponting has prepared a special plan for Rishabh Pant.
Rishabh Pant got fitness certificate from NCA
It has been learned that after getting the fitness certificate from the National Cricket Academy i.e. NCA, Rishabh Pant is ready to return to the cricket field in the next season of IPL. Earlier, some of his videos had also surfaced, where Pant is seen preparing. Now in The ICC Review, DC head coach Ricky Ponting expressed hope that Rishabh Pant will take over the team captaincy from the beginning of the tournament, but the condition for this is that his fitness is completely fine. Ponting has said that he and the team management will have to take a big decision. If Rishabh Pant is fit, we will try to make him take charge of the team. Along with this, Ponting also said that if he is not completely fit then we will try to give him some other role. We still have to take some decisions.
Delhi Capitals’ first match this year will be against Punjab Kings on 23 March.
DC head coach Ricky Ponting said that Rishabh Pant has made a lot of efforts to make a comeback and his participation in the recent practice session shows that Delhi Capitals are ready to take the field against Punjab Kings in Mohali on March 23. Be. Ponting said that he has played practice matches in the last few weeks, which is really good for us. I know he has worked hard on his body and his fitness to get back to the level he is known for. He said that he is very happy and has high hopes for Pant’s return. Not just as the coach of Delhi Capitals, but I want to see him playing cricket again.
David Warner took command of Delhi in IPL 2023
Rishabh Pant could not play for his team even in the 2023 IPL. Then the command of the team was taken over by David Warner. Earlier, David Warner was playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad and was also captaining the team. It was under his captaincy that SRH won the Indian Premier League title in 2016. But the performance of Delhi Capitals under Warner’s captaincy was very poor. Delhi Capitals was at ninth position in the 10-team IPL. Of the 14 matches the team played that year, it won 5 and lost the remaining nine. If we look at it this way, if Rishabh Pant returns to the team as captain, then David Warner will be seen playing only as an opening batsman. Although the new season is not far away, the wait is that Delhi Capitals can soon make an official announcement about the return of Rishabh Pant.
