    Prithvi Shaw to play for Delhi Capitals in IPL 2023

    Prithvi Shaw will next play for Delhi Capitals (DC) in IPL 2023. He will look to play a vital role in the absence of regular captain Rishabh Pant. The wicketkeeper-batter is on the road to recovery after surviving a car accident in December.

    The 23-year-old Shaw was recently included in the India squad for the T20I series against New Zealand after more than 1.5 years following his 379-run knock against Assam in the Ranji Trophy. He, however, did not get a game during the three-match series, which Team India won 2-1 at home.

    The Mumbai batter will aim for a breakthrough season in IPL 2023. Last year, Shaw scored 283 runs in 10 innings at a strike rate of 152.97.

    Delhi Capitals squad:

    Players bought – Ishant Sharma (INR 50 lakh), Phil Salt (INR 2 crore), Mukesh Kumar (INR 5.5 crore), Manish Pandey (INR 2.4 crore), Rilee Rossouw (INR 4.60 crore).

    Players retained – Rishabh Pant (c), David Warner, Prithvi Shaw, Ripal Patel, Rovman Powell, Sarfaraz Khan, Yash Dhull, Mitchell Marsh, Lalit Yadav, Axar Patel, Anrich Nortje, Chetan Sakariya, Kamlesh Nagarkoti, Khaleel Ahmed, Lungi Ngidi, Mustafizur Rahman, Aman Khan, Kuldeep Yadav, Praveen Dubey, Vicky Ostwal.

    DC will begin their campaign against the Lucknow Super Giants on April 1.

  • Rishabh Pant issues first statement after accident, thanks his rescuers and BCCI

    Rishabh Pant issues first statement after accident, thanks his rescuers and BCCI

    India’s star wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant released an official statement on Monday and expressed gratitude towards two of his rescuers and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

    Pant posted a picture of Rajat Kumar and Nishu Kumar with his mother and thanked them for helping him after the accident, terming them “two heroes”.

    “I may not have been able to thank everyone individually, but I must acknowledge these two heroes who helped me during my accident and ensured I got to the hospital safely. Rajat Kumar & Nishu Kumar, Thank you. I’ll be forever grateful and indebted,” Pant captioned his post.

    Notably, a few weeks back, Pant met with a car accident while driving from Delhi to Roorkee and was injured badly.

    Before extending gratitude to his helpers, Pant acknowledged the efforts by the BCCI, its secretary Jay Shah and other government authorities. The 25-year-old also thanked his fans and medical staff for their support.

    In his tweets, Pant stated that his surgery was a success and he’s on the road to recovery. BCCI had airlifted the southpaw in the first week of January for extensive treatment of his ligament injuries.

    “I am humbled and grateful for all the support and good wishes. I am glad to let you know that my surgery was a success. The road to recovery has begun and I am ready for the challenges ahead. Thank you to the BCCI, Jay Shah & government authorities for their incredible support.” tweeted Pant.

    “From the bottom of my heart, I also would like to thank all my fans, teammates, doctors and the physios for your kind words and encouragement. Looking forward to see you all on the field. #grateful #blessed,” he added

    During the car crash, Pant had torn all three of his knee ligaments; the third surgery will take place after six weeks from now. Therefore he is likely to miss six months of action on the field. It has already been confirmed that the Delhi cricketer won’t feature in the upcoming IPL, which starts in first week of April.

    IPL 2023: Sourav Ganguly provides a big update on Rishabh Pant’s availability for Delhi Capitals

    Former BCCI President and soon-to-be Delhi Capitals (DC) Director of Cricket, Sourav Ganguly, has given a big update regarding the availability of Rishabh Pant for the upcoming season of Indian Premier League (IPL).

    Notably, Pant suffered a fiery road accident last month after his car crashed on a highway. The wicketkeeper-batter sustained severe injuries and was admitted to Max Hospital in Dehradun before being airlifted to Mumbai for further treatment.

    As Pant continues to undergo treatment, Ganguly, who is expected to join the Capitals as their director of cricket soon, has confirmed that the Indian cricketer will miss this year’s edition of the cash-rich league.

    “Rishabh Pant will not be available for the IPL. It will be a great IPL (for the team), we will do well, but Rishabh Pant’s injury will affect the Delhi Capitals,” said Ganguly, as quoted by Sports Today.

    Pant, who led the Capitals in the previous edition of the lucrative league, had two cuts on his forehead, a ligament tear in his right knee along with other injuries. The Roorkee-born recently underwent successful knee surgery at the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital and Medical Research Institute in Mumbai.

    “Rishabh Pant has successfully undergone knee ligament surgery on Friday. He will be under observation. Further course of action and rehabilitation will be advised by Dr Dinshaw Pardiwala and followed by the BCCI sports science and medicine team,” a BCCI source told PTI.

    Pant has so far played 98 matches in IPL, in which he has amassed 2838 runs at a strike rate of 147.97 with the help of one hundred and 15 half-centuries.

    IPL 2023: Delhi Capitals offer Sourav Ganguly a new role for the upcoming season

    Former India captain and the ex-BCCI President Sourav Ganguly recently left his fans in excitement by posting a cryptic tweet hinting about his return to the sport in some capacity.

    Ganguly had a video showing him holding his bat and striking some vintage shots in the short clip.

    On Tuesday, the surprise came to an end as Ganguly will be returning to his previous camp, Delhi Capitals, for the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

    The Capitals have offered Ganguly the role of the franchise’s new Director of Cricket and he will have to see operations of all three teams under them.

    According to several reports, the Prince of Kolkata will also be responsible for affairs of the Dubai Capitals and Pretoria Capitals in the ILT20 and SA T20 leagues which are set to start later this month in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and South Africa respectively.

    “Yes, Sourav will be back with Delhi Capitals from this year. The discussions and modalities are over. He has worked with the franchise, shares a good comfort level with owners and if he would have worked in IPL, it would have always been with DC,” a BCCI official was quoted as saying to PTI.

    Ganguly was the team mentor of Delhi Capitals during his stint with the franchise in IPL 2019. He left the role after his election as the President of BCCI later in that year.

    According to PTI, Delhi Capitals’ recent auction picks had both Ricky Ponting (head coach) and Ganguly’s footprints.

    Players’ bought by Delhi Capitals at the IPL 2023 Auction:

    • Rilee Rossouw (INR 4.6 crore)
    • Manish Pandey (INR 2.4 crore)
    • Mukesh Kumar (INR 5.5 crore)
