Rishabh pant joins CSK instead of Dhoni..!?
Delhi Capitals IPL team captain rishabh pant is reportedly leaving the team in the next 2025 IPL series and will join chennai Super Kings as a wicket-keeper batsman instead of Dhoni. How true is this? Ricky Ponting, who was the head coach of delhi Capitals for about seven years from 2018 to 2024, was recently sacked. It is said that he did not come out voluntarily and the management of delhi Capitals has thrown him out. So, there may be some confusion in the team and the news about rishabh pant is also spreading.
In an interview given by the team's consultant, Sourav Ganguly, openly criticized the delhi Capitals team for not making any progress under Ricky Ponting in the last seven years. After this news, the captain of the team, rishabh pant, is also reported to leave due to dissatisfaction with the management of the team. There are also reports that he will join the chennai Super Kings team and fill the place of former captain Dhoni. How likely is this? The mega auction is set to take place ahead of the 2025 IPL series.
All IPL teams could retain only three or four players then. All other players are forced to leave the team. After that, the other players have to be bought in the auction itself. Accordingly, if there is no smooth relationship between the delhi Capitals team and rishabh pant, he will be removed from the team. He cannot directly join any IPL team. If he wants to get a place in the chennai Super Kings team, chennai Super Kings will have to compete with other teams in the auction to buy him. A team can buy any player depending on how much money they have in the auction at that time. So, it is not certain that CSK will buy rishabh Pant. There is unlikely to be any truth in the news of rishabh pant joining CSK. Also, will rishabh pant, who is the captain of the delhi Capitals team, leave the post and join the CSK team? The question also arises. CSK will be captained by Ruturaj Gaikwad for at least two more years. The CSK management has appointed him as the captain on a long-term basis. So even if rishabh pant joins the CSK team, he will not get the captaincy.
