Star wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant on Tuesday reached Arun Jaitley Stadium to support his team Delhi Capitals in their first home match of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 against Gujarat Titans.

Pant was seen cheering his team during Delhi Capital's first home game. He is recovering from a serious accident he suffered last December while on his way to Roorkee in Uttarakhand from Delhi.

Pant arrived in an SUV and made his way from the parking area to the Arun Jaitley Stadium. He went towards the stadium's seating area using crutches and was given thunderous applause by the spectators. The young cricketer was sporting a white t-shirt and sunglasses.

Pant underwent knee surgery in Mumbai and has posted pictures of his recovery which show him making steady improvement.

This is Delhi Capitals' second Indian Premier League match and first in their home ground.

Delhi has grappled with a replacement for Pant, a key wicket-keeper batsman. In the second game, Abhishek Porel made his debut while Sarfaraz Khan was given a chance in the first.
