Rishabh Pant: Before the mega auction of IPL 2025, news of Rishabh Pant's separation from Delhi Capitals was coming out which surprised everyone. But now if the news is to be believed, Rishabh Pant is not going anywhere but he will remain in the Delhi team. However, he may face a big setback before this season. The management of Delhi Capitals can snatch away big responsibilities from him.
Let us tell you that according to the news, the management of Delhi Capitals can snatch the captaincy from Rishabh Pant but he will definitely be retained. Delhi Capitals are still searching for their first title in the IPL.
Let us tell you that the franchise had made Rishabh Pant its captain in IPL 2021. Actually, due to Shreyas's injury, the franchise had handed over the captaincy to Rishabh. Since then Rishabh is holding the command of the team. Rishabh had missed IPL 2023 due to the accident.
He has captained the team in 3 seasons of IPL, but he has failed to end the title drought. In such a situation, now the franchise may want to look beyond Pant, but they have not taken a decision on who to make the captain after Rishabh. Rishabh has performed well with the bat as captain but he has failed to win the trophy for his team. Because of which his captaincy can be lost.
