Rishabh Pant Injury Update
The southpaw Rishabh Pant is making a swift recovery from a near-fatal car crash that happened last December. Despite his speedy recovery, it is yet to be seen if he can take up the burden of being a wicketkeeper. The Delhi Capitals, who had to face his absence, ended up finishing second from last.
Recovery Progress
Rishabh’s progress is remarkable, however, it is still difficult to confirm if he will be able to go back to keeping wickets immediately. According to a BCCI official, it may take up to three months or even more for Rishabh to resume practice. It is important to take it slow since he is still young and has a lot of time to play cricket.
Delhi Capitals’ Struggle
The Delhi Capitals were left without a capable leader when Rishabh Pant was injured. To fill in the gap, the franchise hired Abhishek Porel as a replacement. However, it was Rishabh’s wicketkeeping that was most missed.
