IPL 2025: 3 wicketkeeping options for Delhi Capitals if Rishabh Pant leaves DC

Check out 3 options for Delhi Capitals who can take Rishabh Pant's wicketkeeping role for DC in IPL 2025.

Star Indian wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant, who is the most capped player and leading run scorer for Delhi Capitals in IPL history, can leave the franchise ahead of the mega auction next year and join five-time champions Chennai Super Kings. According to reports, the Delhi-based franchise is not happy with Pant, who led the side in IPL 2024, and is still thinking about the decision to retain the star cricketer. On that note, let us check out 3 wicketkeeping options for Delhi Capitals in Rishabh Pant leaves DC.

Wicketkeepers who might replace Pant in DC

Tristan Stubbs

The young Proteas batter, Tristan Stubbs, was recently bought by the Delhi Capitals in the IPL 2024 after he was released by his former team, the Mumbai Indians. The 23-year-old South African wicketkeeper made his debut for the team and has had a good record in first-class cricket with quick movements behind the wickets.

Shai Hope

The experienced Barbadian wicketkeeper batter, Shai Hope, recently made his way in the Delhi Capitals squad and can be a good replacement for Rishabh Pant behind the wickets. Hope stands at 41 catches and 9 stumpings behind the wickets in T20s.

Kumar Kushagra

The 19-year-old domestic cricketer Kumar Kushagra was one of the interesting picks by Delhi Capitals in IPL 2024 auction. The young wicket-keeper can be a strong contender to replace Rishabh Pant as the wicket-keeper for the team, considering his track record for Jharkhand in Vijay Hazare trophy and Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy.
