Rishabh Pant missed IPL 2023 and several important international matches, including the 2023 ODI World Cup, due to severe injuries from a car accident in December 2022.

However, his fans are thrilled to learn that he is now fully recovered and ready for IPL 2024. Delhi Capitals had a challenging season last year under David Warner’s captaincy, finishing second to last in the standings.

“I had to ensure I didn’t pity myself” -Rishabh Pant discusses his recovery journey post-accident

Recently, Rishabh Pant expressed feeling devastated by his prolonged absence from the field due to injuries. However, he emphasized that he maintained a positive attitude and avoided self-pity during this challenging period.

Reflecting on his mindset regarding his comeback, Pant shared with Times of India:

“I was sad because I was going through a very good time. But I had to ensure I didn’t pity myself. That’s how I was keeping myself sane. And I don’t want to think that I am taking a fresh guard or I am making my debut all over again or I just had a break.”

“I just want to feel how it is to be on the ground again. I need that feeling from within that I am just continuing with my career.”

Delhi will kick off their IPL 2024 season with a match against Punjab Kings in Mullanpur, Chandigarh, on March 23rd.
