Rishabh Pant Become First Player to Achieve this Records: On Thursday, March 28, at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, during the Delhi Caps’ (DC) second Indian Premier League (IPL) game of the 2024 season against the Rajasthan Royals (RR), Rishabh Pant created history.
Pant made his comeback to the game in DC’s season opener against the Punjab Kings (PBKS), which ended in a four-wicket loss at the recently built Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, Mohali. Pant had been out of action for over 15 months.
On December 30, 2022, Pant was involved in a potentially fatal vehicle accident that left him with severe injuries that needed two knee operations. After more than a year of intensive recuperation, Pant is back in the IPL 2024 lineup as a wicket-keeper batter.
As the first player in history to participate in 100 IPL matches for the Capitals, Rishabh Pant has created history in the DC-RR game. Ultimately, Amit Mishra, who played 103 games, four of which were in the Champions League, is the only other player to attain this milestone for the team after Pant.
As a devoted member of the Capitals squad since 2016, Rishabh Pant is an IPL one-club guy. Pant has demonstrated his ability in 99 IPL matches during the course of his stellar career. He has amassed 2856 runs at an average of 34.4, struck at an astounding strike rate of 147.9, and scored one century.
Pant has solidified his position as the fifth-most successful wicketkeeper in IPL history, with an impressive record of 81 dismissals (62 catches, 19 stumpings) in his 99 matches for DC.

In a turn of events, Pant was appointed as the Capitals’ captain for IPL 2021 following an injury to Shreyas Iyer, a role that was later made permanent. Despite missing IPL 2023, Pant, now 26 years old, returned to lead the team in IPL 2024, taking over from David Warner who led the Delhi-based franchise in his absence.
