Rishabh Pant, one of the world’s most eccentric wicketkeepers, returns to cricket when Delhi Capitals take on Kings XI Punjab in the first match of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Pant, playing his first Test cricket in over 14 months, did not produce the batting impact he had hoped for, but he did impress as captain behind the stumps. When Pant returned to the scene, his eccentric chattering voice was captured by stump microphones.
Encouraging spin bowler Kuldeep Yadav to keep bowling the lines he was doing, Pant told him, “milega, daalte reh, tu hi hai (keep bowling the same way and you will Get wickets, you are the only one)”.
Pant’s efforts to motivate Kuldeep paid off as the left-arm wrist spinner picked up the precious wicket of Jitesh Sharma. Here is the video:

Sam Curran’s half-century and his 67-run partnership with Liam Livingstone helped PBKS finish with four in Rishabh Pant’s comeback match during the Indian Premier League at Mullanpur Defeated Delhi Capitals (DC) by 2 wickets.
Ishant got injured while bowling. Pant praised batsman Abhishek Porrell for his hard-hitting knock. Pant also said that he was nervous while batting but had to go through the process.
“Ishant’s injury was evident because we were missing one player… We were a bit behind in batting. Abhishek came in and scored a few runs, which was crucial. We were missing the extra bowling. We actually got it back.” To not get the job done at the end…(is) part of the game. Personally, I was nervous (to get back on the field), but you have to go through this when you get on the field. This is not the first time I feel nervous but still happy,” Pant said.
“I thought we got a par score but we were one less bowler due to injury and there was nothing we could do about it. The wicket played the way we expected it to, no excuses. We will learn from it but one less A bowler is a bad thing.” It’s never good. At the end of the day, they played well (PBKS). Borrell’s finishing helped us achieve a high result. It was an amazing inning, congratulations to him. I think it was only his third or fourth game, but he made a huge impact.Really looking forward to it [to seeing him] this season,” he added.
