Rishabh Pant to leave Delhi Capitals ahead of IPL 2024 auction, here is his next franchise

Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant who is currently with team India for the upcoming Sri Lanka tour. This will be the first time since his comeback that he will feature India in the ODIs. Ahead of Sri Lanka tour reports are coming in that he will leave his IPL franchise DC and he will likely to join Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL). 

Here is what the report says about Rishabh Pant
 

According to a report by Dainik Jagran, DC will release Pant before the mega auction. However, he finished the last season as the highest run-getter of the franchise and he has the support of Delhi Capitals Director of Cricket Sourav Ganguly. The report further claimed that he will feature for CSK because MS Dhoni is at the last stage of his career for Chennai Super Kings. In such a situation, Rishabh Pant can become a strong contender for Chennai in his place. While Delhi's management is not happy with Pant's performance and has not yet decided to keep him in the team.
