IPL 2024: Comeback man Rishabh Pant will do wonders for India, says Shikhar Dhawan

India’s veteran batter and Punjab Kings captain Shikhar Dhawan has predicted that comeback man Rishabh Pant will do wonders for the country. Pant is all set to return to action in the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League as he will lead Delhi Capitals.

On Tuesday, Pant was cleared by the BCCI’s medical team to play as a wicket-keeper in the upcoming IPL. The left-hander met a horrific car accident, in which he suffered serious multiple injuries. Since then Pant has been on the difficult road of recovery and has now gained 100% match fitness.

Meanwhile, Pant has already played some unbelievable knocks in his short Test career and has impressed while batting at number six. Pant scored a match-winning knock of 89 runs in the historic Test match against Australia at the Gabba.

“I am very happy and excited to see Rishabh Pant back in action. He has survived such a fatal accident, all thanks to God. In this last one year, he has worked so hard and shown such positive intent. He was in such pain that he wasn’t even able to move or do anything for the first few months,” Dhawan said on Star Sports.

Dhawan revealed that Pant showed great resilience and patience to come out of a tough phase after suffering a near-fatal accident.

“Even for the toilet, he needed someone’s assistance. From that rough phase to now, he has shown a lot of patience, positivity, and tolerance, and it’s a huge thing. It surely gave him a lot of strength, and I am sure he is going to do wonders for himself and the country,” Dhawan added.

Pant has amassed 2838 runs at an average of 34.61 and a strike rate of 147.97 in 98 IPL games.

Delhi Capitals will begin their IPL 2024 campaign against Punjab Kings at Mohali on March 23.
