Pant was pleased and happy when the BCCI gave him the go-ahead to make his long-awaited return to the cricket pitch. Pant will once again wear the red and blue jersey of DC after 14 months of strenuous recovery sessions at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru.

Speaking about the much-awaited return of Pant, Delhi Capitals' Assistant Coach Pravin Amre said, "As coaching unit and personally, it was really pleasing to see him bat. It didn't feel like he was batting after a long time, the bat swing was vintage. We have to give credit to him, the way he has worked hard throughout the year, is not easy. It shows how mentally strong and hungry he is."

"We wanted to get together and get a feel of the wicket. There were newcomers as well, so we wanted to welcome them and enjoy the session as a team. We will also be playing practice matches so that will help us cover all bases going into the tournament. The way we have planned our sessions will help us get fresh and prepared for our first game in Mohali," the 55-year-old added.
