RISHABH PANT

If the BCCI selection committee is thinking of looking for a long-term option to lead the Indian team, look no further than wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant. Pant has captained his domestic side Delhi in the past and recently took over as Delhi Capitals (DC) IPL team in the IPL 2021 edition after Shreyas Iyer got injured before the first half of the season.

Pant then captained the team brilliantly with guidance from the coaching staff and senior players and it resulted in DC reigning at the top spot of the IPL 2021 points table with 6 wins in 8 matches. Pant has shown great aptitude for leadership, to go along with his carefree attitude as well, which is something that goes with his personality.
