The newly-appointed Delhi Capitals (DC) skipper for the 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL) season - David Warner, sent a special message for the franchise's regular captain Rishabh Pant, who is currently undergoing rehab and recovery following a horrendous car accident a couple of months back and has been ruled out of cricketing action for most of the year.
Warner stated, "We are motivated every season, but we are motivated even more to lift the title this year in your absence. We are going to be on the journey of your recovery with you. We will send some special messages, and hopefully, you can come to one of our games. On behalf of the DC family, I wish you all the best and a speedy recovery."
