The young captain of the Delhi Capitals (DC), Rishabh Pant was appointed as a replacement of Shreyas Iyer, who had injured his shoulder while fielding during the ODI series between India and England. Pant has a huge task ahead of him of replicating last year’s success where Delhi Capitals reached the IPL final where they lost to Mumbai Indians.
Pant, though, is in the form of his life, playing some match-winning knocks for India in the Test series in Australia and following it up with some fine performances during England’s tour of India. Delhi Capitals will be hoping that Rishabh Pant continues his purple patch and takes them one step further to their maiden IPL title.
