Rishabh Pant (Rishabh Pant) has been appointed as the captain of Delhi Capitals for IPL 2021 due to injury of Shreyas Iyer.
Indian wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant is running in a strong rhythm in the current round.
Wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant has shown the true potential of his ability with the best performance in the last 3 months with the Indian cricket team. The result of this performance is that for the IPL 2021 season, Delhi Capitals have made Pant the team captain after the injury of captain Shreyas Iyer. In such a situation, it is also feared that due to the extra pressure, it may not affect Pant’s batting and wicketkeeping and the rhythm in which he was playing so far may deteriorate. But Delhi coach Ricky Ponting does not agree with this. He believes that this additional responsibility will improve the young wicketkeeper’s game even more.
Rishabh Pant has now become the life and captain of Delhi Capitals after making his name in every household through the IPL 4-5 years ago. 23-year-old Pant, who started his IPL career with Delhi, is now going to take additional responsibility to make his franchise a champion for the first time. The team management has given him the command of the team in place of senior players like R Ashwin, Shikhar Dhawan, Ajinkya Rahane and Steve Smith, which will keep a lot of eye on Pant and Delhi’s team.
Pant likes to take responsibility
So will the pressure of additional responsibility on Rishabh Pant affect his performance? This is a question that everyone is looking at and responding to from their own perspective, but the views of Delhi coach Ricky Ponting are very clear on this and they believe that it will not have any effect on Pant. In a press release issued by Delhi Capitals, Ponting was quoted as saying,
“I think he will fully enjoy the additional responsibility. He is the kind of person who likes responsibility, who likes to lead, so I am really curious to see how he handles the responsibility. We will help him, but to be honest, I do not think he will need much help. “
Senior players will help Pant
The coach of the team also said that from the coaching staff to the senior players of the team, it will be their job to help the young captain. He said, “I think if we can talk to Rishabh about his captaincy before the first match, then we don’t have to worry about it when the tournament starts. When the tournament starts, you don’t want to burden the captain with suggestions. “
Delhi’s first match will take place on 3 April against 3-time champions Chennai Super Kings, where Rishabh Pant will step down as captain for the first time and will face MS Dhoni, the most vicious and successful captain in cricket history.
