Indian wicket-keeper batsman and Delhi Capitals skipper Rishabh Pant was seen in the stands on Tuesday while cheering for the team in their first home game of IPL 2023. Pant, who had a horrific accident in December last year, made a public appearance for the first time since the unfortunate incident. 

Pant made his way to the Arun Jaitley Stadium, New Delhi in his SUV and with the help of crutches entered the stands of the stadium to show support for his team. He could be seen dressed in a white t-shirt and wore black shades for his first outing after the accident. His legs could be seen heavily bandaged as he is recovering from the injuries. 

Earlier, IPL posted a video on Twitter featuring Prithvi Shaw, who wishes Rishabh Pant a speedy recovery as Delhi Capitals gear up for their first home game

Rishabh Pant is not just important to Delhi because of his captaincy, but also because he is the leading wicket-keeper batsman of the team. In his absence, the team had to face trouble in deciding which wicket-keeper batsman they should play and hence, they played 2 different options in both the matches. While in the first match, Sarfaraz Khan was given a chance, Abhishek Porel made his debut in the second match. 

In Pant’s absence, David Warner has been named the captain for Delhi Capitals.

The team and the fans also got excited to witness their skipper in the stands. DC fans carried a special banner expressing how much they miss their skipper.
