Sourav Ganguly, the Director of Cricket for Delhi Capitals, believes that Rishabh Pant has a natural talent for captaincy that will only improve with time and experience. After a grueling recovery from a severe car accident in December 2022, the dynamic wicket-keeper batter returned to lead the Delhi Capitals in the TATA IPL.
Speaking to JioCinema, Ganguly acknowledged Pant's young age and expressed his admiration for the way he bounced back from his injury to play a full season. Ganguly also emphasized the importance of Indian players in the league, especially since the TATA IPL now has 10 teams. He wished Pant all the best for his future endeavors.
Pant's captaincy has shown flashes of brilliance during the IPL, but he has also made a few mistakes along the way. Ganguly believes that with time, Pant will become a better captain. He noted that no one becomes a great leader overnight, but Pant's instinctual decision-making on the field is a strong foundation for his growth as a captain.
The Delhi Capitals finished the league stage with seven wins and seven losses, leaving their playoff hopes hanging by a thread. Ganguly admitted that it is unlikely they will make it to the playoffs, but he was proud of the team's performance this season. He also praised the young pacers Mukesh Kumar and Rasikh Dar Salam for stepping up in crucial moments.
Ganguly highlighted Rasikh's development over the season and praised his ability to bowl on the challenging Delhi wicket. He also commended Mukesh for consistently delivering in difficult overs, whether at the start or the end of an innings. Ganguly credited the Indian bowlers for their outstanding performances throughout the season.
In conclusion, Ganguly expressed his satisfaction with the team's overall performance and the progress shown by individual players. He believes that Pant has a bright future as a captain and is confident that the Delhi Capitals will continue to thrive in the coming seasons.
