Let us tell you that Pant is returning to professional cricket after 14 months. On December 31, 2022, Pant met with an accident while going from Delhi to Roorkee. After this he underwent surgery. Due to this he could not even play the 2023 season. Australian batsman David Werner was made the captain in place of Rishabh Pant in the 2023 season. Only last week, Pant had got the green signal for fitness from NCA.

In this regard, Parth Jindal said that we are happy to welcome Rishabh Pant back as our captain. Courage and fearlessness have always defined his brand of cricket. I can't wait to have him back in our team once again as we look forward to the new season with renewed vigor and enthusiasm.

However, suspense still remains regarding Pant's wicketkeeping. Neither Parth Jindal nor the team management has talked about Pant's wicketkeeping. However, a few days ago he shared a video on social media while doing wicketkeeping exercises. He was also seen batting and fielding in the 20-over training match of NCA.
