IPL 2022: Captain Rishabh Pant shares first impressions of a new-look Delhi Capitals team

Delhi Capitals’ captain Rishabh Pant attended his first training session with the side in Mumbai, and saw that all players are set for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season.

“It seems like the team has been made for the first time. I observed every player during my first practice session with the team and it looks like everybody is in a good frame of mind,” he said. “Everybody is enjoying each other’s company.”

The wicketkeeper-batter also spoke to the new players about the DC team environment, “At the moment, we are trying to understand what do the new players need during nets sessions,” he said. “We are discussing the roles the players can take up during matches and the kind of team environment we would like to set up. We have spoken to the new players about the team environment we’ve had in the last few years.”

Speaking about working with coach Ricky Ponting for yet another season, Pant added: “It’s always special meeting Ricky Ponting. Whenever I meet him, it feels like I am meeting a family member. And he always brings the energy out of every player on the field. Everyone looks up to him and waits for him to say something different.”
