IPL 2024: Here's What Rishabh Pant Said At Toss After Returning To Cricket

Rishabh Pant has made his much awaited return to cricket and is captaining DC in IPL 2024. Read below.

Indian Premier League 2024: Delhi Capitals take on Punjab Kings in the Match 2 of IPL 2024, as fans all over the world have seen an end to their wait of seeing Rishabh Pant back on a cricket field. The southpaw has returned to IPL after 2 years and is captaining the Delhi side for this season's IPL. Punjab Kings had won the toss and decided to bowl first. Here's what Rishabh Pant said at the toss:

“We would have batted first. The wicket looks a little on the slower side. 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,” Pant said at the toss.

However, it wasn't a fairytale return to cricket for Rishabh Pant as the left-handed batsman couldn't make much impact with the bat and also ended up on the losing side, as Delhi Capitals lost their opening match away to Punjab Kings in IPL 2024.

"I think that Ishant's injury was evident as we were playing with one bowler short. Abishek played well but we fell one bowler short. The bowlers pulled back in the end but it wasn't enough. Personally, pretty nervous but you have to go through it when you enter the field. I feel we were with the par score but with Ishant's injury, we were one bowler short. We are not making any excuse. Having one bowler short on this surface is always difficult," said Rishabh Pant in post-match presentation ceremony.

"It was an amazing innings from him. It helped us finish on a high. Congratulate to him because this was only his fourth of fifth match and he batted brilliantly," added Pant, while commenting on the special knock from Abhishek Poral, who came on as an impact player when only three overs were left in the first innings.
