Dinesh Karthik the former Indian wicketkeeÂper personally belieÂved that Rishabh Pant may find it challenging to transition back to highpressure tournaments like the IPL afteÂr more than 14 months away from active play.
Pant, on the other hand, jumped right in and did an excellent job for the Delhi Capitals. He scored 446 runs in 13 matches, becoming his franchise’s highest run-scorer.
Karthik told Cricbuzz:
“I genuinely thought walking into the IPL it could be very hard for him (Rishabh Pant) because of his recovery, and if you don’t play for a year, the feel of playing matches, you lose it a lot. It takes time and IPL is such a quick and high-paced tournament, you need to get on the run right away. I thought it was going to be hard, but the way he has done it, credit to him, hats off. He is a deserving candidate and now you can see why people rate him so highly.”

On Pant’s undefeated knock of 36 (26) in a match-winning effort against Ireland, Dinesh Karthik continued:
“It’s a great sign for India because left-hander, top of the order, taking on bowlers, plays spin brilliantly, and he is one of those guys if he gets going, he will win you a game comfortably. Couldn’t be happier for him. This guy, even though it was not big in terms of volume, just his method to reach that score was brilliant.”
