'Fantastic news' - Fans react as Rishabh Pant set to play IPL 2024 in new role

India's star cricketer Rishabh Pant is all set to mark his comeback in the IPL 2024. Notably, a plethora of reports claim that Pant will be used as an impact player during the IPL 2024, which will be a major boost for Delhi Capitals' (DC) Camp. However, DC had a poor stint in IPL 2023 in the absence of Pant, and they will be looking to boost their upcoming edition with his presence in the IPL franchise.

Notably, the wicketkeeper-batter got into a fatal car accident on the Delhi-Dehradun route in December 2022. In addition, the impact was so damaging and brutal that he suffered many injuries, including scratches on his back, injuries on his forehead, a burst ligament in his right knee, and damage to his right wrist, ankle, and toe. However, there was no damage to his brain or spinal cord, which saved his life despite serious injuries and allowed him to make his comeback soon.

However, following the accident, the 26-year-old cricketer was not able to place himself in major cricket events, including the Asia Cup 2023, the ODI World Cup 2023, the WTC Final, and the Indian Premier League, where he captained the Delhi Capitals. Team India have surely missed him in the WTC Final as Rohit Sharma and Co. ended their journey with a loss in the final game against Australia.

All the Indian cricket fans are waiting to see Rishabh Pant return to international cricket with his magnificent batting

Notably, after his accident, the middle-order batter underwent his first medical care at Dehradun's hospital before being moved to Mumbai's Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital for further treatment. However, the star cricketer is currently at the NCA and looking to get well soon.

Although Pant's initial media reports suggested a lengthy break from cricket, his recovery came together more quickly than expected. Meanwhile, all the Indian cricket fans are waiting to see Rishabh Pant return to international cricket with his magnificent batting, especially in Test cricket.

Check out how fans have reacted to his comeback:

He still isn't fit fully and then his fans wanted him to play SA and Eng series 😂

No expectations from him. Him being on the field is enough. He is special talent and will slowly and surely make his way back to the Indian team
