Rishabh Pant, the standout wicketkeeper-batsman for Team India, was involved in a terrible automobile accident last month that left him with several injuries to his head, back, and leg. Pant was first taken to a private hospital in Dehradun, but is now stable and receiving treatment in Mumbai. Due to his ailments, Pant may be out for a significant amount of time. Earlier this week, Sourav Ganguly, a former India captain who is said to have been hired as the Director of Cricket for Delhi Capitals, issued an update.the 2023 Indian Premier League team's ability to use Pant.

According to Ganguly, Rishabh Pant won't be available for the IPL, according to Sports Today.

The loss of the Capitals' wicketkeeper-batsman and captain is a major setback to the team, but former Indian spinner Pragyan Ojha said that Phil Salt, who was just acquired by the DC for INR 2 crore in the IPL auction, may take Pant's spot.

In his debut encounter at the SA20, Salt, who has played for England in 11 ODIs and 13 T20Is to far, hit an unbeaten 77 off 47 deliveries as he began the batting. The Capitals defeated the Sunrisers by a final score of 23 runs.

Anrich Nortje, a pitcher from South Africa who is now playing for DC, is also a member of the Pretoria Capitals. Ojha praised the speedster for his outstanding performance as he recorded remarkable figures of 2/18 in four overs.

He has been bowling quickly, and if you look at the way he has been bowling, targeting those stumps, he is trying to be disciplined, and you can see how he was changing the tempo. Those knuckleball pitches were bowled by him. That gap really bothers you when you are bowling at 150 and then abruptly drop to 120–125. And Nortje has been there; he has been doing it consistently, and he is aware that having those scores on the board allows you the leeway to continue experimenting.
