Rishabh Pant Can Be The Next Indian Captain! Veteran Speaks

Former cricketer WV Raman believes that Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant has the potential to captain the Indian team. However, he will have to work a lot on his captaincy for the next few years. In the match against KKR on Thursday, Pant faced criticism from many legends for his captaincy after he did not give Kuldeep Yadav a chance to complete his over, despite the fact that he bowled just 14 runs. Took 4 wickets. Instead, he called Lalit to bowl, which proved to be very expensive.

Pant’s decision proved wrong

Actually, at one time it seemed that KKR’s team could hardly reach the score of 120 or 130, but due to this decision of Pant, the team was able to score 146 runs. Although Delhi easily won this match with 6 balls to spare, but at one point Delhi had lost 5 wickets for just 84 runs and the match was stuck. In such a situation, due to a wrong decision of Pant, Delhi may have to lose the match. For this reason, his decision was also strongly criticized.

Rishabh Has A Great Mind

During a conversation with cricket.com, Raman praised Pant and said,

“Rishabh Pant has a great cricketing mind but he is on a learning curve and has been working on his keeping and fitness over the years and has shown remarkable improvement. I believe Rishabh Pant will go ahead and captain the national team.”

With the win against KKR, Delhi have moved up to the sixth position in the points table with 8 points and have kept their playoff hopes alive.
