The southpaw, attired in t-shirt and shorts, was also seen facing throwdowns from the NCA staff followed by shadow batting in the middle of the venue.
Pant had attended the Delhi Capitals camp in November last year and was also among those present at the franchise’s IPL auction table at Dubai in December.
Sourav Ganguly, the Capitals’ director of cricket, sounded optimistic on Pant’s return to professional cricket.
“He’s (Pant) good now. He will play in the IPL next season. There’s still time for him to get down to practice. By January (2024), he’ll get even better,” Ganguly had said during DC’s camp at Jadavpur University Salt Lake Campus.
Pant had last donned the Indian colors back in December 2022 during a Test match against Bangladesh in Mirpur – scoring 93 as the visitors emerged victorious by three wickets.
Meanwhile Rohit Sharma and Co have an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series and will play their final T20I ahead of the World Cup this summer in the Caribbean and USA.
