Former BCCI president Sourav Ganguly commented on start batter Rishabh Pant and said that Pant should take his time in order to heal properly.

According to the press release, Delhi Capitals Director of cricket said, “I am sure that the national team is missing him as well. He’s young and he has got a lot of time left in his career. He’s a special player and he must take his time to heal properly. We wish him all the best and I’ll meet him as well.”

The Delhi-based player met with a serious accident while driving on NH-58 on December 30.  He sustained multiple injuries on his knee and ankle. He is still recuperating from the injuries he got. Since Pant is injured and will not be taking part in the upcoming season of IPL, Delhi Capitals have named David Warner as the skipper.
