Indian wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant might depart from the Delhi Capitals before the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) season, according to a report by Dainik Jagran. Despite being the franchise’s most experienced player and top run-scorer, Pant may not be retained by Delhi Capitals before the mega auction, even with the backing of Director of Cricket Sourav Ganguly. Should Pant be released, he is likely to join Chennai Super Kings, who are actively seeking a new Indian wicket-keeper as MS Dhoni approaches retirement.
