Rishabh Pant is back in full training and currently finding the sweet spot with his willow.

The Indian star is set to take part in the IPL 2024 and lead the Delhi Capitals after his one-year hiatus in the tournament.

Rishabh faced a horrible accident just before a few days of the 2023 New Year, and since then has been out of competitive cricket. The player had multiple fractures and injuries and needed surgeries to recover from the mishap.

After a long rehabilitation, Pant has been given the NOC by the National Cricket Academy to take part in the IPL 2024 in his original role, which is wicketkeeper-batter, and Pant is looking ready to take the tournament by storm.

The Delhi Capitals captain was seen practising batting on Thursday (March 14) and during that, he hit a fantastic MS Dhoni-esque Helicopter Shot. The ball was on his pads and Pant went with his full flow to dispatch it, and then he also rebounded his bat after the shot, shaking it exactly the way MS Dhoni does it after hitting his trademark Helicopter Shot.

The 26-year-old will be looking forward to his return to the stadium. He is likely to lead the Capitals this year and will be aiming to sneak in a place in the India squad for the T20 World Cup, which will take place just after the IPL.

Pant's miraculous recovery has also been a premature one. He injured his wrist, ankle and toe, and the doctors gave him an 18-month recovery time, which the player has managed to achieve within 12 months. It is also a massive boost for the Indian team as he is regarded as a valued member and was having a stellar period just before his accident.

Delhi Capitals will kickstart their IPL 2024 campaign with an away match against Punjab Kings on March 23 at the new Mullanpur Cricket Stadium.
