This young player plays for Bengal in domestic cricket. However, no official statement has been issued regarding his joining the party.
If Abhishek Porel is included in the playing XI of Delhi this season, then he will have a golden opportunity to prove himself. With the arrival of Abhishek, Delhi's search for a regular wicketkeeper has come to an end. Abhishek Porel has scored just 22 runs in 3 T20 innings but has impressed so much in the warm-up games that Delhi Capitals have agreed to replace him as Pant.
In December 2022, Rushav Pant was involved in a car accident. After which he could not return to the field. It will take more time to cover it completely. He cannot be a part of the team in this IPL as he has not cleared his dues. In his place, David Warner has been given the captaincy of the Delhi Capitals team. Now Abhishek Porel has been included in the team as a wicketkeeper.
