IPL 2023: Rishabh Pant to ‘join’ Delhi Capitals in their home match against Gujarat Titans (file photo)
IPL 2023, DC vs GT: Delhi Capitals (DC) is all set to play their first match at home against the defending champions Gujarat Titans (GT). During the IPL match, DC regular skipper Rishabh Pant will watch his team in action. The match will be played at the Arun Jaitley stadium on Tuesday from 7.30 pm.
Pant is currently recovering from the injuries that he sustained in a car accident last year in December. Due to this, he was ruled out of the IPL 2023. He is still undergoing rehab. The Delhi-based franchise named David Warner as their captain for the 16th season of the IPL.
During their IPL 2023 opening game against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), Delhi had kept Pant’s jersey (17) on top of their dugout as a tribute to their injured regular captain. Meanwhile, DC players have wished Pant a quick recovery through a video ahead of their match on Tuesday.
Get Well Soon, Rishabh
