With the BCCI set to announce the rules for the IPL 2025 Mega Auction soon, teams are already strategizing for the next five years. A new report suggests that Chennai Super Kings (CSK), who got a new captain last year, are interested in acquiring Rishabh Pant to potentially replace MS Dhoni.
Rishabh Pant’s Performance and Future
Delhi Capitals (DC) are reportedly not satisfied with Rishabh Pant’s performance and are considering whether to retain him for the next season. There are also discussions about trading Pant instead. However, Sourav Ganguly, the former Indian captain and DC’s director of cricket, supports keeping Pant as the team’s captain.
Chennai Super Kings’ Interest
If DC decides to release Pant, CSK may pick him as a replacement for MS Dhoni. Dhoni, who played a key role in CSK’s success this year, has handed over the captaincy to Ruturaj Gaikwad. However, Dhoni’s future participation in the IPL is uncertain, raising questions about the team’s leadership.
Changes in Delhi Capitals’ Coaching Staff
In other news, DC has decided to part ways with coach Ricky Ponting after a long tenure. Sourav Ganguly expressed interest in becoming the next DC coach, but this does not seem likely at the moment. According to News 18, DC is looking for a long-term coach similar to Gautam Gambhir, who recently led Kolkata Knight Riders to their third IPL victory before taking up a national coaching role.
Conclusion
The future of Rishabh Pant with Delhi Capitals is uncertain as the team evaluates his performance and considers potential trades. Meanwhile, Chennai Super Kings are preparing for life after MS Dhoni and may see Pant as a valuable addition. The upcoming IPL 2025 Mega Auction will be crucial in shaping the teams’ strategies and player rosters.
