Rishabh Pant was the center of attraction during the IPL 2024 auction which was held in Dubai on December 19, 2023. Pant helped the Delhi Capitals (DC) during the event with his inputs, as this was his first time sitting at the table during the IPL auction.

Pant, who is recovering from surgery and injuries sustained in a car accident in December last year, was accompanied by DC top brass including head coach Ricky Ponting and Director of Cricket Sourav Ganguly.

Meanwhile, later in the day, after the IPL auction ended, Rishabh Pant was seen spending some time on the tennis court with legendary CSK captain MS Dhoni. In the video, Pant can be seen receiving loud cheers for hitting an overhead smash which took Dhoni by surprise.

MS Dhoni, unlike Pant, did not join his team, Chennai Super Kings at the auction table on Tuesday. The former India captain was received by loud cheers at the airport as he was spotted arriving in the city on the day of the auction.

Here is the video:

MS Dhoni had hosted the likes of Suresh Raina and RP Singh for dinner at his residence. Dhoni also had Rishabh Pant during Diwali celebrations earlier in the year. Sakshi Singh Dhoni shared photos from their colorful celebrations in which both Dhoni and Pant were in traditional attires.

Pant is expected to return to competitive action for the first time since the car crash in IPL 2024.
