IPL 2023 Season: While he recovers from numerous injuries he incurred in a vehicle accident in December 2022, Pant will miss the whole IPL 2023.
The 16th season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 is set to commence on March 31, and many franchises are expecting several injuries as a result.
Rishabh Pant, the captain of the Delhi Capitals, had one of the greatest misses of the game. The 25-year-old was involved in a car accident in December 2022, rendering him ineligible for the majority of the 2023 season. As a result, he will not participate in the following IPL.
Abishek Porel, a 20-year-old left-handed wicketkeeper batter, has been tipped to be named as Pant’s substitute in the Delhi squad. Delhi has been eager to name a replacement for the injured Pant.
Porel has participated in 16 first-class games, three List A games, and three T20 games. In those games, he has scored 694, 54, and 22 runs, respectively. With Porel’s inexperience in the sport, Delhi may be taking a big risk if they do declare him as Pant’s replacement.
But, the Bengal batter has recently performed well, and the IPL may be the ideal venue for him to demonstrate his talent at the greatest level. David Warner will be the Delhi Capitals’ captain in Pant’s absence, and it will be intriguing to see how the team performs without the ace keeper-batter.
In the opening game, Delhi Capitals face Lucknow Super Giants.
In their IPL 2023 encounter, the David Warner-led Delhi Capitals will play the Lucknow Super Giants. On Saturday, April 1, the game will be contested at the Ekana Sports City Stadium, and despite Pant’s absence, Delhi will be motivated to earn their first victory of the year.
They will also be eager to outdo their performances from the IPL 2022, where they placed fifth in the standings with 14 points after 14 games, just missing better on a playoff spot.
