IPL 2025: 3 teams that can target Rishabh Pant if he leaves Delhi Capitals

2. Royal Challengers Bengaluru

The Bengaluru-based franchise might be keen to sign Rishabh Pant, especially after Dinesh Karthik’s retirement from the cash-rich IPL. Dinesh Karthik served as an excellent wicketkeeper where he played the role of a finisher and also kept the wickets really well.

Meanwhile, Pant’s inclusion would surely address RCB’s need for a versatile wicketkeeper-batter who can also play the role of a potential finisher. The cricket fraternity is well aware of Rishabh Pant’s explosive batting approach, and his ability to play match-winning innings under pressure. His presence would certainly add depth and power to RCB’s batting order.

3. Gujarat Titans

Gujarat Titans might contemplate releasing the 39-year-old Wriddhiman Saha in order to bring in a younger and more dynamic player like Rishabh Pant in their arsenal. The Roorkee-born’s aggressive batting and wicketkeeping skills would be a perfect fit for GT’s strategy to build a future-ready squad.

Pant has the talent to open the innings as he is known for his ability to take on top bowlers and score at a rapid pace. This would provide the team with a cutting edge in the powerplay and middle overs. Apart from his batting credentials, he is known for his experience in leading the Delhi Capitals, which would help Shubman Gill in decision-making.
