The T20 World Cup is over and Team India has also become the champion. After continuous discussions about this tournament for about a month and a quarter, now the focus has again turned towards the upcoming series and tournaments. Apart from the bilateral series, suddenly the excitement about the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League has also started increasing and the reason for this is Delhi Capitals, which once again missed the title but there is a stir in the team for preparations for the next season. The franchise has announced the removal of Ricky Ponting, who has been the coach of Delhi for the last 7 seasons, and now news has started coming that the team captain Rishabh Pant will also leave the franchise.

A mega auction is to be held before the IPL 2025 season, due to which major changes are certain to happen in the squad of every franchise. During this time, there may also be changes in captaincy in some teams. While during the last IPL season, this discussion was going on about former Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma, now suddenly the market of rumors about Delhi captain Pant has heated up.

Will Rishabh Pant leave Delhi Capitals?

Rishabh Pant, who was away from cricket for a year due to a road accident, returned to the cricket field from IPL 2024.

As soon as he returned, he took over the captaincy of Delhi and gave the team a good start. However, once again Delhi failed to qualify for the playoffs, whose first victim was Ponting and he had to resign from the team. As soon as Delhi Capitals announced Ponting's departure, the stir about Rishabh Pant started increasing on social media.

Many accounts on 'X' have claimed that Pant will leave Delhi before the next mega auction and in such a situation Delhi will need a new captain. Not only this, many accounts have even claimed that Pant will replace MS Dhoni in Chennai Super Kings. Now whether this will happen or not, it is difficult to say at the moment because neither the franchise nor Rishabh Pant has said such things, nor have the sources associated with him offered any clarification.

History of Delhi, Pant's wish

It is very important to understand two aspects in this matter - first, Delhi Capitals has a long history in which it gave a chance to many good players and then left them. Shreyas Iyer, who was the captain before Pant, is an example of this, while names like Andre Russell, AB de Villiers, David Warner, Sanju Samson have been talked about for many years. The second aspect is captaincy. Delhi has placed a big bet on Pant and handed him the captaincy and expressed confidence in him. In such a situation, the franchise would like to give him another chance. Also, Pant himself will keep the issue of captaincy in mind before taking any such decision and would not want to go to any team where he does not get this responsibility.
