Due to the injuries he sustained in a car crash, Pant will unfortunately be unable to participate in this year's IPL and the ODI World Cup in India. As a result, David Warner has taken over as the skipper of the Delhi Capitals for the season. The Australian expressed his regret at Pant's absence, acknowledging that the franchise will miss the talented Indian wicketkeeper.

"Rishabh has been a terrific leader for Delhi Capitals, and we're all going to miss having him around. I would like to thank the management for the faith and trust they've always shown in me," Warner said in a statement.
