Rishabh Pant: For the past few months, there has been constant news about star wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant, who has so far represented only Delhi Capitals in IPL cricket, that Rishabh Pant may leave his franchise before IPL 2025 and join the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) team and take over the captaincy for them for the next season.

When this news first came in the media, there was no reaction from any side at that time, but in the past few days when this news again started making headlines in the media, this time the management of Delhi Capitals has held a meeting.

After which the possibility has become very high that Rishabh Pant can be seen in Chennai Super Kings instead of Delhi in IPL 2025.

Rishabh Pant can become the next captain of CSK

It has been reported in the media many times that the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) franchise may make changes in the leadership role of the team after the retirement of Mahendra Singh Dhoni (MS Dhoni).

If reports are to be believed, Mahendra Singh Dhoni himself wants to give the responsibility of captaincy for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to Rishabh Pant as his successor. Due to which the possibility of Rishabh Pant going to Chennai Super Kings has increased significantly.

It will be a difficult decision for Rishabh Pant to leave Delhi Capitals

Rishabh Pant has been playing IPL cricket for Delhi Capitals since 2016.

From 2016 to 2024, Rishabh Pant has performed well for his franchise in every situation, while the franchise has also supported Rishabh Pant a lot in difficult times. Due to which it will not be so easy for Rishabh Pant to leave Delhi Capitals.

Akshar can become the new captain of Delhi Capitals in place of Rishabh Pant

If Rishabh Pant takes the difficult decision of leaving Delhi Capitals before the IPL 2025 season, then the team management of Delhi Capitals can give the responsibility of captaincy of the team to Akshar Patel in place of Rishabh Pant. Akshar Patel has been associated with the Delhi Capitals franchise for a long time.

In such a situation, Akshar Patel will be the first choice of the franchise as the best replacement for Rishabh Pant.
