On Friday, the Indian Premier League issued the highly-anticipated Player Auction List for the 2025 edition with a total of 574 players set to be featured in the Mega Auction in Saudi Arabia. Pant was not retained by Delhi Capitals while Shreyas Iyer and K.L Rahul were let go by Kolkata Knight Riders and Lucknow Super Giants, respectively.
The report stated that the talks between the owners of the Delhi-based franchise and Pant have failed after it stretched for almost past few months.
India wicketkeeper and Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant was left surprised with his possible link-up with Royal Challengers Bengaluru ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) mega auction. However, Pant reacted strongly to the social media post and called it "fake news".
As the anticipation around the Border Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 grows, veteran Australian spinner Nathan Lyon explained his strategy to tackle star wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant's attacking approach saying, "You got to be good to bowl against him".
Before the start of the Test series against India, Bangladesh head coach Chandika Hathurusinghe had praised at the way his side handled certain situations during their previous series against Pakistan.
While Pant may have scored the second-lowest score (340 runs) in the seven seasons he has played in the IPL, and a captaincy blunder in the crucial match may have cost his side a playoffs berth, but Delhi Capitals head coach Ponting believes that Pant is "an outstanding young man who has the world at his feet".
Pant, who came in after Mitchell Marsh fell, carted leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal for two sixes over long-off and deep extra cover to remain unbeaten at 13 off four balls and help Delhi reach 160 with 11 balls to spare.
Pant has reached at least 20 in eight innings but hasn't converted any of those knocks into fifties. Overall, he has scored 281 runs in 11 matches.
Shaw admitted to the offence despite scoring only 5 runs during Delhi's run chase. Notably, Level 1 offences involve gestures toward umpires or opponents.
Pant said he was sure they would pull it through if they managed to take it deep into the death overs.
