Post injury, Pant had three reconstructive surgeries to the ligaments on his right knee. He has consistently kept his followers updated about his fitness by posting videos on social media. Although the southpaw is being rumoured to make his return to cricket in IPL 2024, practically it is not possible.
For the fact, Pant had not played a club-level cricket game post his injury. To make matters precise, Pant hadn’t been in any team’s outdoor training sessions so far for more than a year. He was also a part of Delhi Capitals’ camp held in Kolkata last year, but stayed trained indoors all the time.
For Pant to return to competition cricket, he needs to prove his fitness at the domestic level before Pant can be considered for IPL or the national team. He recently attended the IPL 2024 auction held in Dubai in December last year.
