Rishabh Pant IPL 2025 Mega Auction Update

Rishabh Pant, India’s first-choice wicketkeeper batters across formats, is all set to enter IPL mega auction after not being retained by Delhi Capitals, as per media reports. So Let’s take a look at Rishabh Pant IPL 2025 Mega Auction Update. 

Pant missed the IPL 2023 action due to his car accident in December 2022, the wicketkeeper batter made a comeback and led DC in IPL 2024, but the franchise missed the playoffs berth.  

If a rumour to be believed, many in the franchise leadership group are not satisfied with Pant’s qualities as a skipper in T20 cricket, however they wanted him to continue with DC but not as captain. 

Axar Patel, who has been with the franchise since 2019, is another option to be considered. But the DC management will look for more options during the mega auction.  

However, as per a report by PTI, GMR is currently in discussion with Shreyas Iyer, who led KKR to their third title in IPL 2024, but is set to be released by the Knight Riders. 

Shreyas Iyer was Delhi Capitals skipper when the franchise played its only final in their 17-year long IPL campaign.  

The Capitals have retained Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Tristan Stubbs, Abhishek Porel, and will have an option to use 2 RTM (Right to Match) cards during the mega auction.
