Rishabh Pant left Delhi Capitals after almost 9 years. The Indian wicket-keeper batsman was retained by the franchise even during his long absence. Even his jersey was placed on top of the team stand. Pant said goodbye to that team after a long time. He will be seen in the mega auction of 2025 IPL. Letting go of this important member of Team India is the biggest surprise in the retention list of this year's IPL. 

 But according to Indian media reports, Pant did not leave Delhi. Rather, Rishabh Pant left Delhi Capitals himself. He could not agree with the various decisions of the owners. That's why Pant wants to move away from the Delhi Capitals who have made their home. 

 The biggest allegation was that JMR Group, which owns Delhi Capitals, wanted to remove Pant as captain for the next two years. Akshar Patel was planned to be brought in that place. In this retention, JMR Group kept him at the highest price.  

 Besides, Pant could not accept the decision to make Hemang Badani the head coach and Venugopal Rao as the director of cricket. The JMR Group will have overall control of the team for the next two years due to joint ownership of Delhi Capitals. They take responsibility to reorganize the entire team after receiving new responsibilities. 

 Delhi Capitals were owned by JSW Group for the last two years. The JMR Group replaced Ricky Ponting as the head coach of Delhi after seven years. He even ended his relationship with former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly. Pant could not accept these changes easily. Because of which this cricketer decided to leave Delhi Capitals. 

 Rishabh Pant first came to Delhi Capitals in 2016. The team retained him for the next two mega auctions. The last time he was at the auction table. However, Pant's Delhi Capitals chapter ended with the arrival of JMR Group.
