Back at the field after 453 days, Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant made a comeback to competitive cricket. But it wasn’t the comeback that Pant was probably expecting. A bit rusty, a bit out of sync, Pant could only managed to score 18 runs from 13 balls. But it is safe to say, expectations weren’t too high from the 26-year-old southpaw.
Rishabh Pant walked to the ground for the first time since his near fatal accident. After 1.5 years of recovery, numerous surgeries the Delhi Capitals skipper walked to a rousing reception from the Punjab Kings and DC fans.
If the question is asked – How did Rishabh Pant fair? The short answer would be – Average. But that won’t be the full answer. Amidst his rustiness, Pant however did show a small glimpse of his swashbuckling hitting.
He might not have hit any sixes, but Rishabh Pant managed to smash 2 boundaries. Batting with a strike rate of 138.46, Pant’s short stay was a bliss for the die-hard Delhi Capitals fans.
Rishabh Pant nearly threw his wicket away early on the game. Harshal Patel dropped a simple catch as the ball jumped into the fence for a four. But Harshal’s only saving grace was the sunlight falling on his eyes.
Pant did showcase his hard hitting style, especially hitting long shots with a single hand. The fans in the ground weren’t disappointed when they say the DC skipper trying to hit some big shots. Albeit a short knock, but it will be a stepping stone for Pant to progress in the coming days.
