Former Indian cricketer, Aakash Chopra has given a big statement that Rishabh Pant will be seen playing for Delhi Capitals in the upcoming IPL season and he is not going to any other franchise. In fact, for the last few months, such news was coming out on social media, in which it was being told that Rishabh Pant may be seen playing for some other franchise except Delhi Capitals in the upcoming IPL season.
Regarding this, Aakash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, “Rishabh Pant is not going anywhere. There were rumors that Rishabh Pant and Delhi Capitals are parting ways. Ricky Ponting has gone to Punjab (Kings), so maybe Rishabh Pant can be the new captain of Punjab, or Rishabh Pant said that he loves playing in Chennai, so maybe he can be seen playing for Chennai (Super Kings).”
However, there is a report on Cricbuzz which states that all the rumours should be put to a full stop. The deal between Rishabh Pant and Delhi Capitals is done. Well done Delhi, this is a job well done. Keep him with you, you will not find anyone like him again.”

Chopra also confirmed that the official handle of Punjab Kings congratulated Pant for his sixth Test century, which came against Bangladesh, and also during a press conference, Pant admitted that he loved playing in Chennai, adding that it was a mere coincidence and not to read too much into it.
He further added that, “Recently as soon as Rishabh scored a century, handles of various franchises wished him, out of which we prominently displayed the Punjab handle on JioCinema. Then the rumour was whether he is going to Punjab as Ricky Ponting and Rishabh Pant were together for many years.
However, it is heard that when he scored a century in Chennai, he said that he likes playing there and he loves Mahi Bhai (MS Dhoni) very much. There is talk that Rishabh Pant will play for CSK, but that is not happening, if we believe this report of Cricbuzz, then he will stay in Delhi only.
