Aakash Chopra is excited to see Rishabh Pant in action once again
The anticipation for Rishabh Pant's 14-month absence from professional cricket is growing every day. Pant will make his return to cricket with the IPL 2024, where he will lead the Delhi Capitals. Pant has been absent from cricket since December 2022, and the southpaw’s return has got many cricketing fans excited. Former Indian batter Aakash Chopra is one such person.
Chopra is thrilled to watch the southpaw play again following a prolonged absence. But he also emphasized the difficulties that the IPL's wicket-keeper hitter would run into when he goes back to playing in the big leagues.
Chopra said in his video, “Opportunities are absolutely plentiful." Our emotional quotient has gone very high for Rishabh Pant. We are all waiting for Rishabh Pant to come, hit, and shine. Everyone has even started talking about the T20 World Cup, saying that he will reach there if he scores runs.”
“At the moment, we are riding high on emotion because we all love him so much. However, he will go to the ground after a long time. 14 months is a long time. So it’s a big opportunity to see how he will play; that will be the old Rishabh Pant,” Chopra added.
