According to a PTI report, Rishabh Pant was not happy with the new coaching staff of Delhi Capitals. Recently, Delhi Capitals appointed former Indian cricketer Hemang Badani as their head coach.

PTI reports claim that Rishabh Pant was unhappy with the new coaching staff of Delhi Capitals, after which he decided to part ways. It has been said in this report that Rishabh Pant was not happy with the strategy of Delhi Capitals rather than money. Apart from this, the decision to appoint Hemang Badani as head coach and Venugopal Rao as Director of Cricket angered Rishabh Pant. However, Delhi Capitals tried to persuade Rishabh Pant, but things did not work out between the two. Now Rishabh Pant will be a part of the mega auction.

Rishabh Pant played for Delhi Capitals for the first time in the IPL 2026 season. After this, he continued to play for Delhi Capitals, but this time before the mega auction, Delhi Capitals decided not to retain their captain. It is worth noting that Ricky Ponting was the head coach of Delhi Capitals, but now he has turned to Punjab Kings. Punjab Kings made Ricky Ponting their head coach.
