It looks like whatever rift news came between Rishabh Pant and Delhi Capitals is only going to remain rumours now, as Delhi Capitals owner Parth Jindal himself tweeted about Rishabh Pant and how much they are going to miss his services in the Delhi Capitals camp: “You are and will always remain my younger brother – from the bottom of my heart, I love you and have tried everything to make sure you are happy. I have treated you like family. I am very sad to see you go, and I am very emotional about it. You will always be in DC, and I hope one day we can reunite. Thank you for everything, Rishabh, and remember that we will always love you – go well, champ, the world is at your feet.”
Rishabh Pant creates history by becoming the most expensive player in IPL
Not long ago, on Day 1 of the IPL auction, Rishabh Pant made history by becoming the most expensive player in IPL history, with the Lucknow franchise securing him for a staggering Rs 27 crore. He surpassed compatriot Shreyas Iyer, who had just set the record as the most expensive player in the league, going to Punjab Kings for Rs 26.75 crore just minutes earlier. Before the mega auction, there was speculation about a possible rift between the Indian star wicketkeeper-batter and the Delhi Capitals management. This speculation gained further traction when DC released him ahead of the IPL 2025 auction. However, in a surprising turn of events at the auction table, Delhi Capitals attempted to use the ‘Right To Match’ card, but they couldn’t match the bid that Lucknow Super Giants placed for Pant, showed how much they still value the southpaw.
