BCCI had recently released the rules for the mega auction of IPL 2025. During this period, the board had made changes in many rules and also increased the purse of the teams. Despite the arrival of new rules, no team has yet released its retention list. There is also talk of many star players leaving the old team. Therefore, it is believed that this time the auction is going to be very big. There is also a rumor about Rishabh Pant that he may leave the Delhi team. His name has been linked to everything from Chennai Super Kings to Royal Challengers Bangalore. Amidst these news, Pant has created a ruckus by asking his fans a question about going to the auction.

Is Pant going to leave Delhi Capitals?

Rishabh Pant has been a part of Delhi Capitals team since 2016. On returning after the car accident, the team performed brilliantly under his captaincy. However, it remained just one step away from the playoffs. Delhi team had won equal number of matches against Bengaluru and Chennai but lost in net run rate. In such a situation, any franchise would like to include him in their squad considering his talent and performance. Meanwhile, Pant has given a big statement. He asked a question to the fans on social media at midnight on 11th October. He asked, 'If I go to the mega auction, will I be sold or not? If sold, how much will be bid? This question of his has created a stir among the fans of Delhi.
