All the IPL teams have to submit their retention list to bcci by the end of October. Now a new update has come out regarding rishabh pant that delhi Capitals can release him and pant can be available for bidding in the mega auction. There have been talks between pant and the management of delhi Capitals several times, but DC officials are not showing much interest in making pant the captain.
It is being speculated that rishabh pant will be available for auction in the mega auction. If this happens, many franchises can bid crores on him because many teams need a captain. All eyes will also be on royal challengers Bangalore (RCB) because according to reports, this team can retain only Virat Kohli. In such a situation, it will not be surprising for RCB to spend crores on rishabh Pant.
Anyway, dinesh karthik has retired from franchise cricket after last season, so Bangalore is in dire need of a wicketkeeper. pant can also prove to be a double advantage deal for RCB because he is a wicketkeeper as well as a good captain. On the other hand, looking at the recent statement from LSG management, it seems almost certain that KL rahul will leave lucknow Super Giants. Therefore, many teams will not shy away from bidding high on rahul as well.
Talking about rishabh pant, his friendly relations with Ricky Ponting are not hidden from anyone. But Australian legend Ricky Ponting has now left delhi Capitals and become the coach of punjab Kings. There are high chances that punjab can also bid high to buy Pant.
