Star Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant sweat it out in the nets ahead of his much-anticipated return to competitive cricket with Delhi Capitals (DC) during the Indian Premier League (IPL) this year.

“BattingHeaven.mp4. Rishabh Pant is here and you will be here too, watching this on loop #YehHaiNayiDilli #IPL2024,” said the caption of DC’s post.
