Will Pant play with Dhoni in IPL 2025?

According to Dainik Jagran reports, Indian wicket Keeper Batter, Rishabh Pant, may leave Delhi Capital. Pant, who has been part of the franchise for over nine years, is likely to part away with the team. 

Pant is the highest run scorer for the franchise and is the most capped player as well. The freeport claims that Delhi Capitals may not retain its captain, Pant, ahead of the mega auction. 

After DC, Rishabh Pant may play for CSK as the franchise is looking for a talented wicket-keeper as their most trusted man, Dhoni may retire soon. Hence, they need a proper middle order wicket Keeper batter who can fill the place of MS Dhoni, and there couldn’t be a better choice then Rishabh Pant. 

This move could turn out to be quite beneficial for Pant as he may leave the side with no IPL titles to their name and join the side with 5 IPL titles (record-most titles alongside Mumbai Indians).

This could be a life changing thing for Pant if it is true as he has chance to groom himself under the guidance of the most successful captain, MS Dhoni. Joining 5 time champions can be quite beneficial for Pant as Delhi has zero titles. 

Delhi is leaving Pant, despite the fact that he has support from Director of Cricket Sourav Ganguly.
