Selectors name Rishabh Pant as Delhi’s new captain

Delhi’s young wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant has been named the captain of Delhi’s team for the Vijay Hazare Trophy. This is a big news because Pant has replaced Gautam Gambhir, who has been leading Delhi at the domestic level from past 2 years or so. Delhi hasn’t done anything spectacular under Gautam Gambhir but this sudden change would have surely caught the southpaw by surprise.

Rishabh Pant made his debut in the recently concluded T20I series against England. Pant is a very exciting young batsman and he has been making news at the domestic level for all the good reasons. He was also picked by Delhi Daredevils to play in the Indian Premier League (IPL) last season.

According to a report published in NDTV.com, the chairman of selection committee Atul Wasan personally spoke to Gautam Gambhir and told him about this decision.

“Frankly Vijay Hazare is the last tournament of the season and this was an ideal opportunity for us to see who is the best candidate to lead the state side. We were not finding anyone all these years who could replace Gautam,” former India spinner and current Delhi selector Nikhil Chopra told an 
interview. 
“The Hazare Trophy gives us opportunity to test Rishabh’ s captaincy skills and with Gautam and other seniors around, he will get ample guidance from Gautam. Obviously Atul has spoken to Gautam and he has been taken into confidence,” Chopra added.
