Huge surprise! Gautam Gambhir dropped as captain, teenager replaces him

Young wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant has been named the captain of the Delhi one day team replacing Gautam Gambhir signalling a change of guard in senior state team.

It was learnt that chairman of selection committee Atul Wasan personally spoke to Gambhir to inform him about the decision of the selection committee.

"Frankly Vijay Hazare is the last tournament of the season and this was an ideal opportunity for us to see who is the best candidate to lead the state side. We were not finding anyone all these years who could replace Gautam," former India spinner and current Delhi selector Nikhil Chopra said.
