Returning to the cricket field after 15 months
On December 30, 2022, Pant was seriously injured in an accident on his way home from Delhi. After this accident, he was first admitted to a hospital in Dehradun for urgent treatment. He was then airlifted to a hospital in Mumbai under the supervision of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Pant was undergoing treatment for a long time. After recovering from the injury, Pant was rehabilitated at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bangalore. Meanwhile, he slowly started practicing cricket.
In Pant's absence, Warner is the backbone of the team
Pant was unable to play in the IPL last year due to a serious injury. David Warner replaced him as the captain of the Delhi Capitals team. Days before the start of the IPL 2024 season, the franchise once again handed over the reins of Delhi to Pant.
