The jury is still out on Rishabh Pant in international cricket
Rishabh Pant, despite the skills at his disposal, hasn’t been able to recreate his IPL performances on the international stage. Though he has often starred for the Delhi Capitals and played a string of swashbuckling innings, those attacking traits have regularly been criticized when Rishabh Pant has represented the national side.

However, Rishabh Pant has in the past accorded Ricky Ponting credit for allowing him the freedom to play his natural game. And, Pravin Amre echoed similar sentiments stating that the former Australian captain and Sourav Ganguly backed youngsters of the ilk of Rishabh Pant, thereby unlocking their full potential.
Apart from Ricky Ponting and Sourav Ganguly’s influence, Shreyas Iyer, the skipper of the Delhi Capitals in 2019, also played a pivotal role in their upturn in fortunes.
Pravin Amre spoke at length about the Indian batsman, stating that he represented a confident cricketer who relished whatever challenges were thrown at him.
In the previous edition of the IPL, the Delhi Capitals made the play-offs for the first time since the 2012 season. Thus, there was palpable excitement among the franchise’s elite that they might scale higher peaks in 2020 and finally make their maiden IPL final appearance.
However, the novel coronavirus has brought the entire world to a standstill, meaning that the Delhi Capitals have had to wait a tad longer to etch their names in IPL folklore.
