"Man On A Mission": Delhi Capitals Skipper Rishabh Pant Gears Up For IPL 2021. Watch

IPL 2021: Rishabh Pant now has the added responsibility of leading Delhi Capitals with Shreyas Iyer out of IPL 2021 with an injured shoulder and Pant is gearing up for the role in right earnest.

Rishabh Pant was appointed captain of Delhi Capitals for IPL 2021 after Shreyas Iyer was ruled out of the upcoming season due to an injury. Iyer had injured his shoulder while fielding during the India vs England ODI series. Pant has a huge task ahead of him of replicating last year's success where Delhi Capitals reached the IPL final but lost to Mumbai Indians. Pant, though, is in the form of his life, playing a starring role for India in the Test series in Australia and following it up with some fine performances during England's tour of India.  Delhi Capitals will be hoping that Pant continues his purple patch and takes them one step further to their maiden IPL title.  On Tuesday, the Delhi Capitals posted a video of Pant meeting his teammates and hitting the nets. The left-hander was seen whacking the ball during the nets, while also unleashing some of his unorthodox shots.
