CSK To Rope In Rishabh Pant? Deep Dasgupta Makes Shocking Remark

Former Indian cricketer Deep Dasgupta made a shocking remark about Rishabh Pant joining a new franchise in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Dasgupta suggested the possibility of Rishabh Pant joining CSK in IPL 2025, potentially replacing skipper MS Dhoni.

Rishabh Pant made his IPL debut with the Delhi Capitals in 2016, quickly establishing himself as a crucial player for the franchise in the cash-rich league. Unfortunately, Pant missed the entire last IPL season due to a near-fatal car accident in December of the previous year.

The Delhi-based franchise retained the 26-year-old for the upcoming edition of the tournament. The team, under Pant’s captaincy, failed to qualify for the playoffs in 2022. The southpaw has scored 2838 runs in 97 innings at an average of 34.61 and a strike rate of 147.97.
