Pant was expected to play a big role for the Indian team in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy series, but his injuries have ruled him out of action for the next few months. Sourav Ganguly confirmed that Pant will not be available to play for the Delhi Capitals in IPL 2023 as well.

Reports have claimed that the wicket-keeper batter could be out of action for the remainder of the year as well. An official update on Pant's return to the field is awaited, but for now, fans are hoping for his speedy recovery.
