The crowd at Vishakhapatnam didn't forget to stand behind Rishabh Pant in the ongoing IPL 2024 clash between the Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals on Sunday. The Super Kings' fans displayed a banner for Pant, which had the words written, 'You will never walk alone' to show support for the keeper-batter.
Pant made his return to professional cricket, 15 months after experiencing a life-threatening accident. The Delhi-born cricketer underwent multiple surgeries for numerous injuries and had to undergo rehab before receiving clearance to compete in top-level cricket.
Nevertheless, the left-handed batter has struggled with the bat, managing scores of 14 and 28 as the Capitals have lost both their matches thus far in IPL 2024.
