After being injured in a car accident at the end of 2022, Pant has been out of the game. However, he is gradually getting back into shape and should be back on the field this year. The first indication that he would be playing in the IPL again was in November, when he went to a Delhi Capitals camp in Kolkata, where senior members of the team's support staff, such as head coach Ricky Ponting, assistant coach Pravin Amre, and director of cricket Sourav Ganguly, were present. Pant then participated in the conversations regarding player retention and release prior to the auction.
