Former cricketer Aakash Chopra has expressed his views on Rishabh Pant’s potential comeback for Delhi Capitals in IPL 2024 after recovering from a severe car crash. Pant miraculously survived a near-fatal car crash on December 30, 2022. He has been doing extensive rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru and is making remarkable progress in his recovery.
Chopra believes that Pant will not only play but also lead the Delhi Capitals as their captain, resolving a massive problem for the franchise. He said, “He will bat and captain. With batting, he solves an extremely important problem for the Delhi Capitals because he can bat slightly down the order as, unfortunately, all their good players are top-order batters.”
Ricky Ponting, the head coach of Delhi Capitals, had also said that Pant is confident of playing every game in IPL 2024, but added that he’s still unsure of him to captain the side or be the keeper. Pant has an impressive record in IPL, amassing 2838 runs at an average of 34.61 and a strike rate of 147.97 in 98 games.
Chopra’s views on Pant’s potential comeback after his recovery from a severe car crash and his potential leadership role as the captain for Delhi Capitals in the upcoming IPL season are highly anticipated by cricket fans. Pant’s resilience and determination to make a comeback after such a life-threatening accident are truly commendable and serve as an inspiration to all.
