Urvashi Rautela dodges question over Rishabh Pant amidst ongoing controversy

The controversy between Indian wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant and actress Urvashi Rautela continues to grab all the headlines months after its origin. With Pant’s injury that has ruled him out of contention for several months, many opined that Urvashi Rautela has allegedly become a ‘stalker’ for the Indian batter in recent weeks.

Pant was recently involved in a car accident in December 2022 and has been recovering at a steady rate. As a result of the accident, the 25-year-old tore three key ligaments in his knee and is expected to be out for most of 2023. This means that the star batter won’t be able to compete in the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League and the World Test Championship final.

Recently, more fire was stoked in the Pant-Rautela controversy as the latter was attending an event when she was asked whether she had been asking about Pant’s health after his injury. Reacting to the question, the actress quickly dodged it and opined that the reporters were looking for TRP, which she would not give them.

Rishabh Pant will be a big miss for Delhi Capitals in 2023 IPL

The 16th edition of the IPL 2023 is scheduled to begin on March 31, and fans lie in wait as the world’s biggest T20 league gets underway soon. Delhi Capitals kick off their season by facing the KL Rahul-led Lucknow Super Giants in the third match of the competition.

Due to his injuries, DC will be without the services of skipper Rishabh Pant. The 2022 season was unlucky for DC as they missed out on the qualification spot by the barest of margins. 

They finished in fifth place in the 2022 IPL points table with 14 points in 14 matches, Pant’s absence will be a significant setback for DC, but they will hope for an improved performance under ace Australian batter David Warner’s captaincy.
