Delhi Capitals coach Ricky Ponting labelled Rishabh Pant`s comeback as "nothing short of spectacular". In the recently concluded IPL 2024, Rishabh Pant smashed 446 runs with an average of 40.54 and a strike rate of 155.40. Donning the big gloves, Pant registered 16 dismissals.

"It`s been nothing short of spectacular, to be honest. I spent a few months with him in the middle of the IPL last year, which was only sort of three or four months after his accident. And I had grave fears then that he would never play the game again. What he`d been through psychologically, but what he`d been through physically. At that stage, he still couldn`t walk," Ponting told The ICC Review.
