IPL 2021: Rishabh Pant to remain Delhi Capitals skipper for UAE leg
Rishabh Pant (Delhi Capitals)
Wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant will continue as captain of the Delhi Capitals for the remainder of Indian Premier League 2021, the franchise announced on Thursday (September 16). The 14th edition of India's cash-rich tournament, which was halted midway because of the COVID-19 pandemic, will resume from September 19.
On the official DC wrote in a statement, "Delhi Capitals today announced that Rishabh Pant will continue as captain for the remainder of the 2021 season of the Indian Premier League."
However, since Shreyas Iyer joined the team after recovering from injury, there were talks that he might lead but the decision to retain pant as the skipper looks good in the current scenario as Delhi Capitals did well under Pant.
