After parting ways with Rishabh Pant Delhi owner Parth Jindal gets emotional
All rumors of a rift between Rishabh Pant and the Delhi Capitals have been dispelled, as team owner Parth Jindal expressed his heartfelt sentiments regarding Pant’s departure. In a touching tweet, Jindal stated, “You are and will always remain my younger brother. I love you and have tried everything to ensure your happiness. I am very sad to see you go and hope we can reunite one day.” His words reflect the deep bond between Pant and the franchise, which he joined in 2016.
Pant made history during the IPL 2025 auction by becoming the most expensive player ever, sold to Lucknow Super Giants for a staggering ₹27 crore, surpassing Shreyas Iyer’s record of ₹26.75 crore just minutes earlier. Despite speculation about a possible rift after Delhi released him before the auction, their attempt to use the Right to Match card showed they still valued him highly. Pant’s impressive record with Delhi, including a standout performance in IPL 2024, makes his departure significant. As he embarks on this new chapter with Lucknow, he carries the support and affection of his former team, leaving behind a legacy built over several successful seasons.
