While Pant is recovering from his sustained injury, his teammates made a small video to wish him a speedy recovery and join the field fast.

Bowling all-rounder Axar Patel remembers the moment with the wicket-keeping batter and asked him to come soon on the field.
"Today is your first home match, after 3-4 years we are playing in Delhi. I am seeing that you are recovering well. See you soon on the ground doing fun," Patel said.
All-rounder Rovman Powell who was brought on board to DC at INR 2.80 Crore, has expressed his excitement after knowing that Pant is coming to see the match
"This is the first home game for us in IPL 2023 season, wish you (Rishabh Pant) all the best, hope you are recovering well. We know you are supporting us; we will do it for you my brother," said Powell

Right-arm fast bowler Kamlesh Nagarkoti said, "Hello Rishabh Bhaiya! We all are missing you. We are willing to meet you in your city. Please recover soon so that we can play together."
For the match against GT, the team will expect their overseas all-rounder Mitchell Marsh to perform and overcome his last match's disappointment of getting out on a golden duck
Marsh also had something to say for Pant before the match, "Rishabh, wish you a speedy recovery mate, hope to see you soon."
