Axar Patel Comments On Rishabh Pant DC Return: Delhi Capitals all-rounder Axar Patel has said that the return of Rishabh Pant to the team camp has added some fun and banter into the team environment.
Pant will take the field for the first time since his horrific car crash in December 2022. For the past 15 months, he has been rehabbing at the National Cricket Academy (NCA). With him being away from the sport for so long, he missed some vital tournaments. First, the 26-year-old missed IPL 2023. More importantly, he missed the 2023 Cricket World Cup
It has been announced that Rishabh Pant will play for the Capitals in the upcoming IPL 2024 and will captain the side. In his absence, David Warner captained DC in 2023 to disastrous results as the team finished ninth on the table.

“I’m sure everyone would have said that it’s great to have him back in the team, but personally, I missed him a lot, missed our banter both on and off the field last year. But, now that he is back, all the banter and fun have started alongside serious conversations around the game. I’m just looking forward to having more fun with him this season.”
Rishabh Pant has been a fairly successful captain in the IPL. Under his leadership, the Capitals made back-to-back playoffs in 2020 and 2021, even reaching the final in 2020. Finishing in the top four twice with a franchise that does not reach the playoffs frequently is impressive.
While it is the Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru who will kick off IPL 2024 on March 22 in Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium, Delhi Capitals will start off their tournament on March 23, when they take on the Punjab Kings in Mohali.
