Indian Premier League: Rishabh Pant joined the special team with Shubman Gill in “Box Cricket”. The clock

Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant was seen playing “box cricket” during a shoot with ace-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin and India’s Test vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane. In the 10-second video, Pant throws a ball at Ajinkya Rahane and as he plays the ball, Ashwin stands close to the batsman and celebrates. However, the New Delhi Capital captain asked his team to tag Kolkata Knight Riders batsman Shubman Gill.

The break during shooting is for box cricket, of course

The Capital of Delhi has shot the video, “The break during the shoot happens for box cricket, tagging @RealShubmanGill here because our captain said so.

While it was unclear why Pant asked Gill to tag in the video, as fans reacted to the video, one of them felt that Gill was tagged as the young opener normally in Test cricket. Nearby positions are in the field.

Bikoz he stands in those “silly” positions in Test matches.

So Shubman will be in DC next year as the captain wants.

Delhi Capital will start the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 campaign against Chennai Super Kings on 10 April.

Delhi finished as runners-up last season, but this year, the franchise’s task will be cut out as they will be without their regular captain Shreyas Iyer.

Iyer picked up a shoulder injury during the recently concluded one-day international series against England.

Promoted

Pant was appointed as the captain for the upcoming season and the team looks to be in high spirits ahead of the start of the franchise-based tournament.

Team co-owner Partha Jindal had said that Delhi will miss Shreyas in the 14th edition of the IPL, but he is sure that the franchise will continue to play a fearless brand of cricket under the leadership of Rishabh Pant.
