Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket: There is an exuberating sense of happiness in the voice of Ramji Srinivasan, India’s former strength and conditioning coach, when asked about Rishabh Pant’s return to competitive cricket, especially after the left-handed wicketkeeper-batter was named as the captain of Delhi Capitals in IPL 2024.

Following a 14-month period of recuperation from multiple injuries suffered in a life-threatening car accident in December 2022, there has been significant anticipation and enthusiasm regarding Pant’s return to cricketing action since being deemed fit by the BCCI to take part in IPL 2024.

"His return to cricket shows his perseverance, commitment, and the willpower to come back into the sport, which is absolutely fantastic. The team at the NCA, which has worked with him, deserves to be acknowledged who have ably helped him in his bold come back. Now he has to take it progressively and pay heed to the need of the hour so that he’s on the best path for recovery and gameplan," Srinivasan said in conversation with IANS.
