Rishabh Pant, the Indian batter, met with an accident on December 30 and was shifted to the Max hospital in Dehradun. To add more, the southpaw was on his way to Delhi to surprise his mother ahead of the new year and eventually met with an accident as his car crashed into the divider during the early hours.
Given that he is recovering well and faster than expected, he is also set to miss the Border-Gavaskar trophy and Indian T20 League set to take place in March and April-May. The Indian star is supposed to lead the Delhi franchise and given that he is out of contention, we decided to handpick three players who could potentially lead the team in the upcoming season.
Here are the three players:
3) Manish Pandey

Manish Pandey, the Indian batter, was a part of the Lucknow franchise and was roped in by the Delhi franchise as the former team released him ahead of the mini-auction that took place in Kochi on December 23. The batter was a part of the Bangalore franchise early in his career and then went on a full circle playing for various franchises including Hyderabad and Pune.
With experience under his belt, Pandey might be considered a potential candidate to lead the team in Pant’s absence. Given that the right-handed batter was the first Indian player to score a century in the league, his name, fame and experience would help him lead the Delhi franchise for the upcoming season.
