Rishabh Pant was bought by Lucknow Super Giants for a huge sum of Rs 27 crore, becoming the most expensive player in IPL history. However, his performance in two consecutive seasons was not as expected, nor could LSG do anything good under his captaincy. Now, not even a month has passed since the 19th season ended, the trade regarding Pant has started. He will return to Delhi Capitals, but he is going to suffer a huge loss in terms of salary.
According to the report of Cricbuzz, Rishabh Pant is returning to Delhi Capitals through trade. According to the report, with Parth Jindal’s JSW taking over the reins of the franchise for the next 2 years, DC has started a trade with LSG. Under this, Pant will return to Delhi, who has played for Delhi for 9 seasons and has also captained it.
Kuldeep Yadav will go to LSG
According to the report, Rishabh Pant will come to DC in the trade deal while Kuldeep Yadav will go to LSG, this will be like a homecoming for both the players because in domestic, Kuldeep plays for Uttar Pradesh and Pant plays for Delhi. The biggest problem regarding Pant’s trade was his salary, it was difficult for any franchise to take him for Rs 27 crores. Even after returning to Delhi, Pant is going to suffer a huge loss in salary.
