3 teams that might target Rishabh Pant in IPL 2025
The ace wicketkeeper-batter was one of the prominent figures to not be retained ahead of the mega auction.
2) Chennai Super Kings
Chepauk surface is quite notoriously renowned for its slow and low nature. There have been multiple instances of batters struggling to up the ante at the home venue of the Chennai Super Kings. With Pant being the ever-dynamic batter he is as well as his proven proficency against spinners, he might just be what CSK would be looking for.
With age not being in the favour of CSK's stalwart, MS Dhoni, Pant might just be the perfect successor of Dhoni. With there being rumours doing the rounds of Dhoni being used merely as an Impact Player, someone like Pant could really complement his idol in the subsequent season. He is no less agile than Dhoni, making him a perfect bet for the freak case of Dhoni being used as an Impact Player, but only as a specialist batter.
It might quite possibly be that the upcoming season is indeed Dhoni's final one before he ends up calling it a day. In that case, Pant would be the perfect successor for CSK's current skipper, Ruturaj Gaikwad, from whom he could take on-field guidance. The former skipper of DC has all the tools required to serve as CSK's next full-time skipper, in the case of the management wanting to relieve the burden of captaincy from Gaikwad.
