The IPL 2024 Auction not only created a massive buzz on social media for its anticipated player signings but also captured attention for a friendly game of tennis between Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni and Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant. The video of their post-auction tennis match quickly went viral on social platforms, drawing attention and admiration from cricket fans.
In the video, Rishabh Pant, who is in the process of recovering from a recent accident, showcased good movement on the tennis court, providing positive news for fans concerned about his well-being.
In an interview with IPL ahead of the auction, Pant reflected on the challenges he faced during his recovery from the accident, expressing gratitude for being alive. He described the initial phase as physically demanding due to the pain endured. However, Pant emphasized the progress in his recovery, stating, “I felt like I couldn’t face people and all, and I felt like I had to do something which gives me confidence.”
Despite the challenges, Pant actively participated in the auction proceedings. On the other hand, MS Dhoni, the skipper of Chennai Super Kings, was not present at the auction venue. Both players are set to lead their respective franchises in the upcoming IPL season, adding to the excitement and anticipation surrounding the league.
