IPL 2024: 'I Had Self-belief, Whatever Happens I Need To Be Back On The Ground', Says Pant
Chennai Super Kings: After enthralling everyone with a 32-ball 51 as Delhi Capitals (DC) beat defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by 20 runs, skipper Rishabh Pant said he always had the self-belief to return to the cricket field irrespective of whatever happened.
Sunday's game at Visakhapatnam was Pant’s third game in competitive cricket after recovering from a life-threatening car accident in December 2022. Promoting himself to number three, Pant was at 23 off 23 balls, before accelerating by making 28 runs in his next eight balls before holing out to long-off to make a fifty in the IPL after 465 days.
"See, as a cricketer I don't think about (feeling like being back), but at the same time I have to give my 100% each and every day. So what I did was I took my time initially because I haven't played much cricket in the last one-and-a-half to two years so I thought I have to give myself enough time.
