Ready to roar onto the field, Rishabh Pant of Delhi Capitals has been given the nod by the National Cricket Academy (NCA), Bengaluru, signaling his preparedness for IPL 2024.
Earlier speculations about his readiness have been debunked by sources at Sports Tak on March 10. Currently immersed in IPL 2024 commitments, Pant is expected to make a fleeting return to Delhi before joining the squad's pre-season camp in Vizag, where the first two matches await.
The specific role Pant will undertake upon his return remains shrouded in mystery, with conjectures oscillating between resuming captaincy duties and specializing solely as a batter.

Despite the franchise's cautious approach to avoid burdening Pant, emphasizing his long-term fitness over immediate gains, no official statement has emerged from Delhi Capitals or BCCI regarding his role or comeback.
The curtains rise on Delhi Capitals' IPL 2024 journey as they clash with Punjab Kings in Mohali on March 23, potentially marking Pant's competitive return after a 15-month hiatus. Following encounters with Rajasthan Royals, Chennai Super Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders, and Mumbai Indians, Pant's role in the team is yet to receive official clarification.
