Rishabh Pant is reported to have been advised to reject any offer of captaincy from Delhi Capitals (DC) as he returns to the franchise ahead of IPL 2027. The suggestion comes from within the cricket community, with the idea that Pant should “keep it aside” rather than take on the leadership role immediately.
The report frames the advice as a player-focused recommendation rather than a decision by the franchise. It does not cite an official Delhi Capitals statement or a final offer accepted or declined by Pant. The emphasis across the outlet is on what one or more commentators believe Pant should do regarding captaincy, rather than on confirmed internal discussions or broader team strategy.
Overall, the accounts agree on the central point: Pant’s return to DC is linked to renewed captaincy conversations, and at least one prominent view urges him not to take the role.
