Delhi Capitals released Rishabh Pant. Pant, who has been playing a key role for the Capitals since 2016, reportedly failed to reach a consensus with the senior management regarding the captaincy. The management actually did not consider Pant suitable to be given the captaincy, due to which a mutual agreement was reached between the two parties and then Delhi did not retain Pant.
With Pant being included in the mega auction pool for the first time in eight years, it will be interesting to see which franchise he will eventually join. Given his aggressive form during his recent series with the bat in the recently concluded Test series against New Zealand, Pant is definitely someone to look out for for teams who would be willing to spend big bucks.
In this article, we will talk about those three franchises which will spend money like water behind Pant in the upcoming mega auction. Let us tell you who are those three franchises.

3) Royal Challengers Bengaluru
Royal Challengers Bangalore may have retained former captain Virat Kohli as their marquee retention. However, giving him the command of captaincy still remains a big question mark. Amidst the ongoing speculation, the franchise may consider buying Pant and making him their future captain.
Dinesh Karthik recently retired, due to which RCB is lacking a power hitter in the lower middle order, which Pant can fill. Considering the fearlessness with which he bats in the middle order, there can be no better option for Karthik than Pant. It is a bonus that he is also a wicketkeeper and makes him an ideal choice.
