Rishabh Pant’s Resurgence Bolsters Delhi Capitals’ IPL Hopes
Pravin Amre, the assistant coach of Delhi Capitals (DC), has expressed his delight at Rishabh Pant’s impressive return to form during the team’s pre-season camp. Pant, who missed the previous 14 months due to a severe car accident, has showcased his vintage batting prowess, leaving the coaching staff optimistic about his impact in the upcoming IPL season.
“It was a joy to watch him bat,” Amre said. “His bat swing was as fluid as ever, despite the long layoff. It’s a testament to his dedication and hard work.”
Pant’s return is a major boost for DC, who endured a disappointing campaign last season under David Warner’s leadership. The team finished ninth in the standings, failing to qualify for the playoffs.
With Pant back in the fold, DC is aiming for a strong start to the tournament. The team’s coaching staff, led by Amre, believes that the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Vizag, where DC will play their first two home matches, will provide a high-scoring environment.
“Vizag has always been a ground where runs flow freely,” Amre said. “We’re excited to see what it has to offer.”
DC’s focus is on providing the best possible conditions for their players to excel. The team has been engaged in practice matches and collective sessions to fine-tune their preparations for the IPL.
DC will kick off their IPL 2024 campaign against Punjab Kings in Mohali on March 23. Pant’s return adds a layer of anticipation and excitement to the tournament, as fans eagerly await his return to the field.
