Fans at the Arun Jaitley Stadium could not keep calm as star cricketer Rishabh Pant was seen in attendance during the Delhi Capitals vs Gujarat Titans IPL 2023 clash on Tuesday. Pant is missing from the Indian Premier League after sustaining multiple injuries from a horrific accident last year in December. In Pant's absence, David Warner is leading the Delhi franchise in the 2023 IPL season.
Pant arrived at the venue in a car and slowly towards the stand. Later he was greeted by some DC officials and the fans could not keep calm. In the first game of Delhi Capitals, the team hung Pant's number 17 jersey on the roof of the dug-out as a respectable gesture towards the star wicket-keeper batter.
