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.
