Si Rishabh Pant quiere pasar al CSK, debería ser él el capitán y no Ruturaj Gaikwad.

Se rumorea que DC no retendrá a Rishabh Pant durante la retención de IPL. Mientras que una sección cree que la no retención del dinero podría deberse al fracaso del acuerdo monetario, otros sugieren que no estaba contento con el plan de DC de traer de vuelta a Shreyas Iyer. En cualquier caso, más o menos, será Rishabh Pant. […]

As per rumours, Rishabh Pant is not getting retained by DC during IPL retention. While one section believes that the non-retention could be due to the money deal not going through, while the others suggesting, he wasn’t happy with DCs plan of getting back Shreyas Iyer. In any case, more or less, Rishabh Pant will be in the IPL auction.

Rumours have not ended there only. There are also speculations that CSK will be in the running to get Pant at any cost. So, if that is true, then the next big question that arises is, “Will Rishabh Pant be made the CSK captain”, over Ruturaj Gaikwad? Just purely going by the numbers, Pant has been a better captain in the IPL.

Leading in 43 matches, Pant has won 23, and lost 19. On the other hand, Gaikwad, in his only season as the CSK skipper, he has lost 7 and won 7. But that wouldn’t change much for the CSK team, who have a lot of faith in the latter.

But the only differentiator between the two men could be, Pant is a seasoned India player, and has led India too a few times. It would be great for the CSK to have a skipper in the team, who can handle high-pressure situations, just like MS Dhoni. But the same cannot be expected from Gaikwad for now, who is yet to cement his place in the Indian team.
