Team Chabuk-Sports Desk: Delhi Capitals franchise has chosen its new captain for the year 2021. In the absence of regular captain Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant will now take the reins of the team.
The Delhi Capitals franchise is very impressed with this wicketkeeper batsman of Team India. Being the vice-captain, his name was first discussed. In the recent T20 and ODI series against England, Rishabh Pant impressed everyone with the bat.
Now three Indian wicketkeepers will be seen captaining in the IPL. KL Rahul is the leader of Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals have relied on young Sanju Samson to play a big bet for this season.
The fifth youngest captain
In 2016, for the first time, Delhi bought Rishabh Pant. He has been with this team since then. He was also the first player to be retained before the 2018 mega auction. With this, 23-year-old Rishabh became the fifth youngest captain in IPL history, followed by Virat Kohli, Steve Smith, Suresh Raina and Shreyas Iyer. Kohli and Smith got the captaincy at the age of 22 while Raina and Iyer were 23 years old, but were older in days than Pant. Pant has previously captained Delhi in domestic cricket. He took over this responsibility during the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy in the year 2017.
Shreyas Iyer’s left shoulder bone slipped
Shreyas Iyer was injured during the eighth over in the first match of the ODI series against England in Pune. Shardul Thakur was throwing the ball. Meanwhile, England batsman Johnny Bairstow fired a contract shot. To stop him, Shreyas dived while throwing his whole body. After this he was seen doing it and sat down holding his shoulder. Other players of the team including captain Virat Kohli also went to him. His shoulder injury was serious, so he was taken off the field. Then he could not return to the field and later the news came out that he was out of the ODI series. Iyer will stay away from cricket for at least four months.
absence of Iyer
The team management is going to lose not only the captain but also a great batsman in the absence of Iyer. He was the fourth highest scorer of the tournament last season played in the UAE. After KL Rahul, Shikhar Dhawan and David Warner, his name was 519 runs. After Gautam Gambhir left the captaincy in mid-2018, Delhi got a new captain in the form of Shreyas Iyer. Since then, the 26-year-old Mumbaikar has led the team to success. Once in the playoffs, Delhi Capitals reached the final for the first time last season, but lost to Mumbai Indians in the title match.
