The Delhi Capitals (DC) find themselves in a surprising predicament as the IPL 2025 mega auction approaches. According to multiple reports, the franchise is contemplating a major decision regarding star wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant.
Pant, who has been with DC since his IPL debut, is the franchise’s leading run-scorer and most capped player. However, recent reports suggest a potential rift between the management and the explosive player. While Director of Cricket Sourav Ganguly has voiced his support for retaining Pant, the team might be considering releasing him ahead of the auction.
This indecision reportedly stems from concerns surrounding Pant’s captaincy and his consistency in recent seasons. Despite a strong comeback in IPL 2024 after his car accident, some within the franchise are questioning his leadership qualities.
The reports further speculate that if released, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) could be a potential landing spot for Pant. The four-time champions might be looking to groom him as a successor to the legendary MS Dhoni.
This news has sent shockwaves through the cricketing fraternity. Fans are baffled by the possibility of DC letting go of their talismanic player. Pant’s aggressive batting and wicketkeeping skills have been instrumental in the team’s success over the years.
With the mega auction on the horizon, the decision regarding Pant will be crucial for both the player and the franchise. Will DC prioritize experience and leadership, or will they take a gamble on building a new team around a different captain? Only time will tell what the future holds for Rishabh Pant and the Delhi Capitals.
