Rishabh Pant To Remain With Delhi Capitals In IPL 2025, Sourav Ganguly Confirms

Rishabh Pant's future in the IPL has been uncertain, with numerous reports suggesting a potential departure from Delhi Capitals.

The Indian wicketkeeper-batter, who led Delhi Capitals in IPL 2024, has been rumoured to join Chennai Super Kings as a long-term replacement for MS Dhoni. These speculations have created quite a buzz among fans and analysts alike.

Pant's career faced a significant setback due to a road accident in 2022, sidelining him from cricket for nearly 16 months. He made his comeback in IPL 2024, performing admirably both as captain and wicketkeeper. His impressive form also earned him a spot in the T20 World Cup squad, where he delivered commendable performances.

Despite his successful return, rumours about Pant leaving Delhi Capitals for another team in IPL 2025 have persisted. However, Sourav Ganguly, the director of cricket for Delhi Capitals, has put these speculations to rest.

In an interview with OneIndia Bengali, Ganguly confirmed that Rishabh Pant will remain with Delhi Capitals next season. Speaking to journalists on Sunday, Ganguly assured that Pant would continue to be part of the franchise.

Ganguly also discussed the search for a new head coach for the team. With Ricky Ponting relieved of his duties, there are reports that an Indian coach might take over. Although Ganguly is considered a potential candidate for the role, he is unlikely to accept it.

The confirmation from Ganguly brings clarity to Pant's immediate future in the IPL. Fans can now look forward to seeing him lead Delhi Capitals once again next season.
