Star wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant, who is making a comeback to professional cricket after 14 months, also had his first training session with the team. 

Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals coach Ricky Pointing has asserted confidence in the game-changer and provided the latest update on his fitness.

Pant who is currently undergoing treatment in NCA Bengaluru is expected to recover by the end of February. However, Pant's ability to play in IPL matches, nevertheless, would rely on the NCA management giving their approval.
