Delhi Capitals skipper Rishabh Pant expressed his gratitude to the home fans after the team's elimination from the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 playoffs. Despite a valiant effort, Delhi Capitals fell short of qualifying for the knockout stages, finishing fifth in the points table with seven wins and seven losses.
Pant, who made a remarkable return to cricket after a 14-month recovery from a horrific car accident, was one of the standout performers for Delhi Capitals. The 26-year-old amassed 446 runs in 13 matches, showcasing his exceptional batting prowess. His impressive form earned him a spot in India's main 15-man squad for the upcoming 2024 T20 World Cup.
In a heartfelt message on Instagram, Pant thanked the fans for their unwavering support throughout the season. "Felt amazing to be back on the pitch after so long! Cannot be grateful enough for everyone who played a part in this! None of this would be possible without the constant love and affection from the fans," he wrote.
"The energy was unreal, and I'm thrilled to be doing what I love again. Excited for what's ahead and looking forward to giving my best and making more memories," Pant added.
Despite the disappointment of missing out on the playoffs, Delhi Capitals showed resilience and determination throughout the season. The team's final league game against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) was a testament to their fighting spirit, as they secured a thrilling victory.
The Delhi Capitals squad featured a mix of experienced and emerging players, including David Warner, Prithvi Shaw, Axar Patel, and Kuldeep Yadav. The team's performance was a reflection of their collective efforts and the guidance of head coach Ricky Ponting.
As the IPL 2024 season draws to a close, Rishabh Pant and the Delhi Capitals will look to build on their positive performances and return stronger next year. The team's passionate fan base will undoubtedly continue to provide unwavering support as they strive for success in the future.
