After being declared fit to play by the National Cricket Academy, Pant is gearing up to mark his return to cricket. In IPL 2024, he will make his first appearance in more than 14 months. He spent this time recovery from a fatal accident he sustained in December 2022.
Leaving no stone unturned in his IPL 2024 preparations, the explosive wicketkeeper-batter engaged in a net session which acted as an evidence that he is ready for the comeback.
In a video shared by Delhi Capitals on X, Pant can be seen practicing his big-hitting shots, mainly targetting the leg side. He even played a reverse-sweep.
