Rishabh Pant News / Pant got great news, this team retained him

Rishabh Pant News: Indian cricket team's aggressive wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant is once again ready to dominate the field with his explosive batting in the Delhi Premier League (DPL) 2025. The Old Delhi 6 franchise has announced the retention of Pant as a marquee player two days before the auction to be held on July 6, 2025. Pant played only one match last season, but this time he is excited to make a significant contribution to his team. However, the suspense remains on his availability to play in DPL 2025, as he is busy with the Indian team on the England tour.

Old Delhi 6 showed confidence

The Delhi Premier League 2025 is likely to start in late July 2025, although the official schedule of the tournament has not been announced yet. Old Delhi 6 said in their official statement, "We are proud to announce the retention of star wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant for the upcoming season. Pant has been retained as the marquee player."

Pant also underlined the importance of the DPL, saying, "The DPL has given opportunities to many talented players like Digvesh Rathi and Priyansh Arya. Old Delhi 6 performed brilliantly last season, and this time we will come back even stronger."

Pant and Old Delhi 6's performance in DPL 2024

Last season, Rishabh Pant played a useful innings of 35 runs off 32 balls against South Delhi Superstars in the first match of DPL 2024. However, he was able to take part in only one match. His franchise, Old Delhi 6, won 5 and lost 5 out of 10 matches in the league stage, with them finishing third in the points table.

The team made it to the semi-finals, but the second semi-final against South Delhi Superstars was washed out due to rain. Since South Delhi Superstars were second in the points table, they got entry into the final. In the final, East Delhi Riders won the title.

Will Pant be able to play in DPL 2025?

Rishabh Pant is currently on a tour of England with the Indian Test team, where a five-match Test series is being played between India and England. The final Test of the series will run from 31 July to 4 August 2025. In such a situation, if DPL 2025 starts in late July, Pant will not be able to participate in the first few matches of the tournament. His availability will depend on the tournament schedule and the Indian team's tour schedule.

Pant's form and expectations in DPL

Rishabh Pant has been in great form in recent times. His aggressive batting and wicketkeeping skills make him an important part of Indian cricket. Fans and franchises will expect big scores and game-changing performances from him in DPL 2025. Even though Pant made his mark last season despite getting limited opportunities, this time he will try to make his team the champion throughout the tournament.
