Rishabh Pant's journey with DC:

Rishabh Pant was bought by the Delhi Capitals in 2016, on the day he scored a ton in the Under-19 World Cup to take Team India to the semi-finals. Pant made his mark early in the tournament, scoring 69 runs off 47 balls in just his 3rd IPL match against Gujarat Lions.

The left-hander took his performances to the next level with a 97-run knock (43 balls) against the Lions the following year, and an unbeaten 128-run knock against SRH in 2018.

His IPL heroics led DC to select him as one of the only 3 players for retention ahead of IPL 2018. Later, when DC skipper Shreyas Iyer was injured, the team named Rishabh Pant as the captain for IPL 2021 and later retained him in the auctions ahead of IPL 2022.
