Rishabh Pant, a key player for Delhi Capitals since 2016, has raised eyebrows with his late-night question about the upcoming IPL 2025 mega auction. Fans are left wondering if he could leave Delhi Capitals, igniting discussions about his future in the league.
Midnight Question That Shook Fans
On October 11th, Rishabh Pant took to social media, asking a curious question: “If I go to the mega auction, will I be sold? If so, how much will the bid be?” This sudden query at midnight caught everyone off guard, especially fans of the Delhi Capitals, who have been supporting him since he joined the team. With Pant’s exceptional performances for Delhi over the years, this question has led to speculation about whether he is seriously considering leaving his long-time team.
Fans React to Pant’s Query
Pant’s question sparked a flood of responses from fans, with some predicting he could fetch as much as ₹20 crore in the auction, while others guessed around ₹18 crore. There were also a few light-hearted comments, with fans joking that Pant might have been in a playful mood when he posted the question. It’s important to note that Delhi Capitals retained Pant for ₹16 crore in the last auction, solidifying his position as one of the franchise’s most valued players.
