On Tuesday, the Delhi Capitals will host the Gujarat Titans in their first home match in the Indian Premier League 2023 at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.
Rishabh Pant, the regular captain of the Delhi Capitals, will watch his team play their first home match from the stands because he is unable to play this season due to injuries sustained in a car accident last year.
The Delhi Capitals squad sent a special heartfelt message to Pant in a video posted by the IPL Twitter handle ahead of their match against the defending champions Gujarat Titans.
While Pant is recovering from his injury, his teammates made a short video wishing him a speedy recovery and a quick return to the field.
Prithvi Shaw, a Delhi batter and Pant’s close friend, stated, “Rishabh, I hope you are recovering well, I am seeing your video; baby steps are coming now. Really happy to see you recover. We really miss you, recover soon and get back to the field with us. Love you. Take care buddy.”
Axar Patel, a bowling all-rounder, recalls the moment with the wicket-keeper batter and requests that he return to the field as soon as possible.
“Today is your first home match, after 3-4 years we are playing in Delhi. I am seeing that you are recovering well. See you soon on the ground doing fun,” Patel said.
