Rishabh Pant Is Our Leader; Heart And Soul Of Delhi Capitals, Even If He's Not With Us: Ricky Ponting
Ahead of the 2023 season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) starting in a week's time, the build-up for the Delhi Capitals has been absolutely dominated by the absence of their maverick captain, batter and wicketkeeper in Rishabh Pant. As Pant continues his long road to recovery from multiple injuries sustained in a horrific car accident on December 30, 2022, head coach Ricky Ponting was as clear as crystal in stating that the left-handed wicketkeeper-batter will be the heart and soul of the team even if he's not with the team for IPL 2023.
"I haven't met him in person yet. But I have spoken to Rishabh quite a few times in the last few months. I am also trying to give him his own time and space as he's in a very, very difficult time right now and is on the long road to recovery for playing, hopefully international cricket again."
