Rishabh Pant, IPL 2025: When teams released their retention lists for IPL 2025, many surprising decisions were made this time. Some important players were already expected to be released from their respective teams and that is exactly what happened. Especially no one accepts the release of Rishabh Pant from Delhi Capitals. Well, now he has been released, but the big question is which team will Rishabh Pant be seen playing for in next year’s IPL.
There may be a prize war in the auction for Rishabh Pant
Rishabh Pant was until now the captain of Delhi Capitals in IPL. He also performed well for the team as captain. Until a few days ago, if anyone had been asked to guess who the DC team might retain, the first name that would have come up would have been Rishabh Pant. But now the story has changed. They can now be seen at the auction to be held this month. In fact, almost every team will bet on Rishabh Pant and there may be a prize war too. If this happens, the team with the highest purse will win.
Punjab Kings can make a big bet on Pant
Now, if we talk about the purse, after the salaries of the released players, it has also been decided that when the ten teams go to the IPL auction, how much money each team will have. If we talk about maximum money, then Punjab Kings name comes first. The team has retained only two of its players, both without international caps. This means that the team retained the players very wisely and did not spend a lot of money. Furthermore, he now has more than 100 million rupees left in his purse.
Punjab Kings still have the highest purse left
Punjab Kings team will participate in the auction with 110.5 million rupees, no one has that much money. If Punjab decides that they will have Rishabh Pant on their side, no other team will be able to compete with them. The special thing is that Punjab Kings will also be looking for their captain. Rishabh Pant has captained Delhi before. In such a situation, he himself would like to go to the same team, where he will have the opportunity to be captain. This means that for Rishabh Pant, perhaps some other team would be better than Punjab. But it is sure that when Rishabh Pant’s name is called during the auction, the atmosphere will be very interesting.
