“I want to start by thanking you very much for the invitation. My accident happened about 1-1.5 years ago and I also remember that you had called my mother when this accident happened. A lot of things were going on in my mind at that time, but when my mother told me that you called and said, 'There will be no problem,' it gave me mental comfort,” Pant told Hon. Prime Minister.
Pant made his comeback during the 2024 IPL season, where he led Delhi Capitals bravely and scored 446 runs in 13 matches at an average of 40.55, earning him a place in the squad for the World Cup. This brilliant left-handed batsman scored 171 runs in eight matches for the team and performed well behind the stumps in the T20 World Cup.
“During recovery I kept hearing whether I would be able to play again or not. There was a lot of discussion whether I could do wicketkeeping again. So this was on my mind for the last two years. I thought that when I come back on the field, I will try to improve, not for anyone's recognition, but just to prove to myself that I can play international cricket and help India win, '' said the Delhi Capitals captain.
