Delhi Capitals’ co-owner Parth Jindal on Tuesday posted a heartfelt note on X, bidding farewell to former skipper Rishabh Pant and hoped that the player and the franchise could reunite somewhere down the line in the future.
“To Rishabh @RishabhPant17, you are and will always remain my younger brother – from the bottom of my heart I love you and I have tried everything to make sure you are happy and have treated you like my family. I am very sad to see you go and I am very emotional about it. You will always be in DC and I hope one day we can reunite. Thank you for everything Rishabh and remember that we will always love you – go well champ, the world is at your feet. Best wishes from all of us at @DelhiCapitals – other than when you play DC I will be cheering and hoping for the best for you!,” he wrote in the X post.
Pant replied to the post saying, “Thanku bhaiya the feeling is mutual. Means a lot.”
Earlier, the wicketkeeper had posted a goodbye message for the DC franchise after he was bought for a mammoth price of Rs 27 crore by the Lucknow Super Giants. Even though, Delhi had tried to keep a hold of him with their Right To Match option but LSG were not to be denied.
“Goodbyes are never easy. The journey with Delhi Capitals has been nothing short of amazing…I’ve grown in ways I never imagined. I came here as a teenager and we grew together over the last nine years. “As I move on, I carry your love and support in my heart. I’ll look forward to entertain you whenever I take the field. Thank you for being my family and making this journey so special,” Pant had posted on X tagging Delhi Capitals.
The Capitals bought 19 players in the auction after retaining four including Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, Tristan Stubbs and Abhishek Porel. They bought back Jake Fraser-McGurk for Rs 9 crore and also added India batter KL Rahul to the squad for Rs 14 crore as one of their major signings.
