Suryakumar Yadav, meanwhile, wrote, “Spidey is back! More power to you.”
Pant attended the Capitals’ match against Gujarat Titans last month and was also present during the side’s training session preceding the game against Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Pant met with a car crash on December 30 last year when he was travelling to his hometown and his car collided with a road divider on the Delhi-Dehradun highway. Initially he was treated at a nearby hospital before being shifted to a private hospital in Dehradun. Post this, he was airlifted to Mumbai in January where he was further treated at the Kokilaben Dhirubai Ambani Hospital.
Following his injury, Pant is set to miss a majority of Indian cricket action this year including ODI World Cup , scheduled to be played in October-November in India.
