Pant’s Strong Position in the Team
Earlier it was reported that Rishabh Pant may leave Delhi Capitals. Although the BCCI has not yet announced the retention rules, according to the report, Pant will be the top retention choice for Delhi Capitals. Pant and co-owner Parth Jindal had a meeting in Mumbai recently. This decision has been taken only after this meeting. Pant’s current IPL salary is Rs 16 crore, but this figure is expected to increase. Pant was out of the 2023 season due to a car accident. At the same time, he made a strong comeback in the IPL this year. Pant scored 446 runs in a total of 13 matches played this season at an impressive strike rate of 155. Along with this, Pant is also the all-time top run-scorer for the Delhi Capitals franchise. He has scored a total of 3284 runs for the team.

At the same time, among the foreign players, the team will give priority to Jake Fraser McGurk and Tristan Stubbs. At the same time, if there is a provision for retention of uncapped players, then they can retain 21-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman Abhishek Porel.
