Rishabh Pant makes first public appearance, attends Delhi Capitals match against Gujarat Titans with crutches | IPL 2023
Xtra Time Web Desk: Star India wicketkeeper batter Rishabh Pant made his first public appearance as he attended Delhi Capitals first home game in IPL 2023 season against Gujarat Titans at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Tuesday.
It was the first appearance inPant after almost 4 months since his horrific road accident. Pant was seen seated next to BCCI Secretary Jay Shah and Delhi Capitals team owner Parth Jindal.
In the opening game against Lucknow Super Giants, the DC team had hung their skipper’s jersey No. 17 on the roof of the dug-out as a gesture that he is “always with the team in spirit”.
The Delhi Capitals management will also be honouring Pant by inscribing his jersey number on all the players jerseys during one of the games in IPL 2023 when the team will wear a different colour. However, the jersey number will be inscribed in one corner and it will not be an infringement with the players’ individual jersey numbers.
