Pant, released by Delhi Capitals, became the most expensive player in the history of IPL. Lucknow Super Giants created a new record by buying him for Rs 27 crore. Now Pant is preparing for a new journey. He has shared a heart-touching post for his former team Delhi Capitals. While bidding goodbye to the Delhi franchise, Pant has recalled how he had joined the team as a youngster, who was with him through all the difficult times.
Pat wrote that, from the excitement on the field to the wonderful moments off the field, the journey with Delhi Capitals has been amazing. I had never even imagined this journey. I came here as a youth and over the last 9 years we have grown together. Pant impressed everyone with his aggressive game in the Under-19 World Cup 2026. In the same year, the team added him and retained him for every season. Pant, who has played 111 matches so far, is the highest run scorer for Delhi Capitals in the history of the tournament. He has scored 3248 runs at an average of 35.31.
