IPL 2024: Rishabh Pant’s bat swing was vintage in training session – DC assistant coach Pravin Amre

Delhi Capitals assistant coach Pravin Amre revealed Rishabh Pant’s bat swing was vintage in the training session. Pant was recently cleared by the BCCI medical team to play in the upcoming IPL 2024 as a wicket-keeper.

The left-hander is all set to make his much-awaited comeback to action after recovering from multiple knee injuries, which he suffered in a horrific car accident. Pant will lead Delhi Capitals in the upcoming edition and he will look to hit the ground running.

Delhi Capitals had their first extensive training session at the ACA–VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Wednesday and Pant was able to impress the assistant coach, Pravin Amre.

Delhi Capitals’ Assistant Coach Pravin Amre said on while speaking to DC’s social media team, “As coaching unit and personally, it was really pleasing to see him bat. It didn’t feel like he was batting after a long time, the bat swing was vintage. We have to give credit to him, the way he has worked hard throughout the year, is not easy. It shows how mentally strong and hungry he is.”

Amre said the idea of a training session was gel with the youngsters and enjoy the session.

Sharing his thoughts on the team’s first training session of the season, Amre said, “We wanted to get together and get a feel of the wicket. There were newcomers as well, so we wanted to welcome them and enjoy the session as a team.”

“We will also be playing practice matches so that will help us cover all bases going into the tournament. The way we have planned our sessions will help us get fresh and prepared for our first game in Mohali,” the 55-year-old 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.
