Delhi Capitals' (DC) new skipper Rishabh Pant has addressed the franchise's fans as captain of the team for the first time and hoped to win their first-ever Indian Premier League title during IPL 2021.

Shreyas Iyer captained DC to their first-ever final in IPL 2020 against the Mumbai Indians. Unfortunately, he was ruled out of the tournament due to a shoulder injury he sustained in the limited-overs series against England, and Rishabh Pant was named the new Delhi Capitals captain for IPL 2021.

In the video, he said, "Thank you Delhi Capitals for showing faith in me. I will try to give my 100 percent everyday. Hopefully, we will cross the line this year. Delhi fans, keep supporting us."

He captioned the video, "Humbled at the opportunity to lead the franchise I've been part of for the past few years! Thank you @RickyPonting, the coaching staff, management, my teammates and the fans for your faith in me. @DelhiCapitals : Let's do this!  #IPL2021"
