Having suffered multiple injuries, Pant was back on his feet after 40 days and on Thursday, he joined his teammates during Delhi Capitals&rsquo; training session at the Jadavpur University Salt Lake Campus ground.
&ldquo;He&rsquo;s [Pant] good now. He will play in the IPL next season,&rdquo; Ganguly told reporters, giving an update on Pant.

Ganguly, the former India captain, said Pant is here on a three-day visit to strategise on team-building ahead of the IPL auctions slated in Dubai on December 19.
Australia opener <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/web-stories/icc-world-cup-2023-highest-scores-1837" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">David Warner</a> led DC in Pant&rsquo;s absence last season to finish second from the bottom.
&ldquo;Rishabh won&rsquo;t be practising here though. There&rsquo;s still time for him to get down to practise. By January [2024], he&rsquo;ll get even better,&rdquo; Ganguly said.
&ldquo;We were talking about the team. He is the captain, so he put in his views regarding the upcoming auction. That&rsquo;s the reason he has come here, to finalise certain aspects related to the team.&rdquo;
Pant last played for India in their Test against Bangladesh in Mirpur in December last year.
