Gujarat Titans vs Delhi Capitals: The long-standing wait to witness Rishabh Pant in a cricket stadium has finally been fulfilled as the wickerkeeper-bastman has joined Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. Delhi will host Gujarat Titans in their first home match of the Indian Premier League this season. The star player has already been ruled out for the entire season and Abishek Porel who has been named his replacement, made his debut against Gujarat Titans on Tuesday.

Pant was involved in a horrific car incident last year and since then he has not been involved in cricketing activities as he is undergoing a rigorous rehabilitation process.
