Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant attended the IPL 2024 auction in Dubai.

Rishabh Pant stole the show at the Indian Premier League 2024 mini-auction in Dubai on Tuesday, where he sat at the auction table with the Delhi Capitals’ top brass, including head coach Ricky Ponting and Director of Cricket Sourav Ganguly.

Pant made his first major public appearance after being observed in an IPL 2023 match while recovering from injuries received in a life-threatening traffic accident in December 2022.

Rishabh Pant spoke about his potential return to the game and where his fitness is at the moment.

“(I am feeling) much better (than) what I was doing a few months ago. So like, (I am) still in recovery towards 100 percent (fitness). But hopefully in a few months, I’ll be able to do it,” Pant said in a video on DC’s social media.

After the IPL 2024 auction ended, Rishabh Pant was spotted having a gala time with CSK captain MS Dhoni. Unlike Pant, Dhoni did not attend the auction with his side, the Chennai Super Kings, on Tuesday. When the former India captain arrived in the city on the day of the auction, he was greeted with loud celebrations at the airport.

Rishabh Pant was also there during Dhoni’s Diwali celebrations earlier this year. Sakshi Singh Dhoni tweeted images from their spectacular celebrations, in which Dhoni and Pant were both dressed in traditional garb.

Meanwhile, Rishabh Pant, who missed IPL 2023 and the ODI World Cup, is expected to make his cricketing comeback in the IPL 2024, leading the Delhi Capitals. He was seen recently overseeing the Delhi Capitals camp in Kolkata earlier in the year.
