As part of the 16th season of IPL, Delhi Capitals will face Gujarat Titans in the 7th match today. It is known that David Warner is leading the team as Delhi Capitals regular captain Rishabh Pant is not in the team due to the recent accident. But Rishabh Pant is going to come for today’s match. Yes, Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) Joint Secretary Rajan himself said this. He said Pant decided to come to the stadium to anchor his team even though Rishabh could not play the match. He said ‘Good news for IPL fans. Despite suffering from injury, Pant is coming to the stadium today to support his Delhi team. He is the star cricketer of Delhi team. I think the audience who saw Pant in the stadium will appreciate it,’ said Rajan.
But it will be possible to watch the match from the area where the Pant franchise owners are. Sources in the franchise said that if BCCI’s anti-corruption and security team allows it, he will stay in the dugout for some time. On the other hand, DDCA Director Shyam Sharma said that they are also ready to make special arrangements in the stadium for Pant. He said that appropriate arrangements will be made to bring Rishabh Pant from home to the stadium and drop him back at home. He also mentioned that a special ramp will be kept for Pant even up to the dugout in the stadium. Delhi Capitals OK means they are ready to make arrangements, he said.
