Delhi Capitals prepares a strategy for Pant’s comeback
While the Delhi Capitals management is keen on having Pant lead the team, there is speculation that they might opt not to burden him with the wicketkeeping duties to avoid stressing his leg. The decision to balance his workload is a crucial one, considering Pant’s recent injuries. The team management will have to weigh the benefits of his leadership against the potential strain on his recovery.
IPL 2024 Auction presence
Pant’s determination to make a comeback was evident when he was present during the IPL 2024 Auction. His intent to be a part of the action was clear, but the final decision lies with the National Cricket Academy (NCA) and its medical staff.

The role of NCA authorities and BCCI
Pant has been diligently working on his fitness and rehabilitation at the National Cricket Academy. Under the constant supervision of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and their medical team, Pant’s progress is closely monitored. The NCA and BCCI play a pivotal role in determining when Pant is ready to make a full-fledged return to competitive cricket.
