Rishabh Pant has been appointed the Delhi Capitals captain for the 2021 IPL. The development comes in the wake of the Capitals’ regular captain Shreyas Iyer being ruled out of the season after he dislocated his left shoulder during the ODI series against England. This is the first captaincy assignment for Pant in the IPL, who was bought by the Capitals before the 2016 IPL and then became the first player to be retained ahead of the 2018 mega auction.
Recently Brett Lee, one of the fastest bowlers to have ever played cricket, is excited by what a youngster such as Pant brings to the table. Lee explained he liked the fact that Delhi Capitals appointed Pant captain of Delhi Capitals ahead of IPL 2021. Calling Pant the future of ‘Indian cricket,’ Lee feels captaincy should bring the best out of the 23-year-old.
“Pant is the future of Indian cricket. I like him because he is cheeky without being too arrogant, he is funny without being not serious enough. He has the right blend to be a successful cricketer. I like the fact that they’ve allowed Rishabh Pant to captain. I like that they’ve given him a little extra responsibility with his captaincy and batting. He’s got so much to bring to the team,” he added.
Pant said that the team will be looking to build on the progress of the last few years this season.
“We haven’t won a title yet and I will try my level best to get a title this year. We’ve been playing nicely as a team for the last two-three years two-three preparations are going well. Everyone looks in a great frame of mind. Everyone is giving their 100 percent and is happy in the team environment, and that’s what you want as a captain,” said the 23-year-old Pant.
