Pant’s Resurgence Sparks Life into his Performance Against CSK – Pant Explains his Rise After Mishap

Delhi Capitals defeated Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by 20 runs in Visakhapatnam on Sunday to record their first victory in the IPL 2024. At their second home, the ACA-VDA Stadium, Rishabh Pant & Co. put on an all-around performance to outwit the reigning champs and earn their first points.

Pant’s resurrection to the game:

After recovering from a potentially fatal car accident in December 2022, Pant made his IPL comeback. This was his first fifty in three matches this season. During the post-match press conference, he expressed his unwavering optimism that he will eventually return to the pitch. The DC skipper seemed to struggle a bit initially but he accelerated in towards the end of the innings as 43 runs came in the last three overs.

“One and a half years…this is something I have built my life on. I still have to keep learning as a cricketer. I had self-belief that whatever happens, I have to come back to the ground and I didn’t think about anything else. As a cricketer, I’ve to give my 100 percent. Took some time initially as I haven’t played much cricket in the last one-and-a-half years” Pant said during the post-match presentation.
