Although the 23-year-old is looking cheerful in the dugout, it's still not clear when he'll come back on the field. The southpaw has been the cornerstone of Delhi line-up in recent years, and the team management will want him back in the crucial games.
Meanwhile, Delhi hasn't missed Pant's services much as they are currently placed at the pinnacle of the team standings with seven wins from nine games. They are just one step away from securing a place in the playoffs, and they'll like to attain the confirmed status against Kings XI Punjab at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on October 20.
