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.
Pant is currently captaining the Delhi Capitals in the IPL 2022 season, having taken over as captain of the franchise in 2021. As a captain in first-class cricket, Pant led Delhi to a second-place finish in the 2017/18 Ranji Trophy as a 20-year-old.
The match between the Royals and Capitals plunged into controversy over a debatable waist-high no-ball that was ruled legal by the umpires but disputed by team from the National Capital.
The Australian all-rounder will be available for the game against the Royal Challengers Bangalore today and will bat at one-down.
After beginning the season with a victory over Mumbai Indians, Rishabh Pant-led Delhi Capitals will take on Lucknow Super Giants in Mumbai on April 7.
