Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant marked his return to competitive cricket with a 13-ball 18 for Delhi Capitals against Punjab Kings, at the Maharaha Yadavindra Singh Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, on Saturday.
Pant looked fluent in his brief knock, scoring two fours, including a flowing cover drive. He was eventually dismissed by a slower short ball from Harshal Patel, who had earlier dropped the Delhi Capitals skipper in the innings.

Pant, who suffered a horrific car crash in December 2022, was playing his first match since India’s Test series in Bangladesh in December 2022.
“Really emotional time for me. Just want to enjoy the moment. Not thinking much. I think not worried about last season. Really exciting times. We have been preparing well,” said Pant after the toss today.
Pant though was unfazed in his short time in the crease, even attempting a reverse sweep early on in his knock. The left-handed batter also looked at ease running between the wickets, adding two doubles in the Harshal over before his dismissal.
