Rishabh Pant Injury Update:
Rishabh Pant is making a recovery faster than expected, however, the future of his wicketkeeping career is still uncertain. Last December, he was involved in a serious car accident, and underwent multiple surgeries as a result. In his absence, Delhi Capitals finished second from last. Everyone is eagerly awaiting the return of Pant, but it is yet to be seen whether he will be able to take on the duties of a wicketkeeper.
Remarkable Progress
The progress of Rishabh is remarkable, however, it is too early to tell if he will be able to resume keeping straight away. It could take anywhere from three months to more than six months for him to get back in the game. Everyone involved with the situation needs to take it slow, as Rishabh is still young and has a lot of time to play cricket. According to a BCCI official, rushing him is not an option given the severity of his injury.
Absence of Pant Felt
Delhi Capitals found a great leader in David Warner, but what they missed the most was Rishabh Pant’s keeping. As a result, the franchise brought in Abhishek Porel as a substitute.
Conclusion
Rishabh Pant’s recovery is a wonderful thing, and everyone is hoping he will be able to make a return to the game soon. However, the future of his wicketkeeping career remains uncertain, and only time will tell if he will be able to take on the duties of a wicketkeeper again.
