Mumbai: West Indies great Brian Lara says that young wicket-keeper-batsman Rishabh Pant has improved his game a lot in the last few months and he will do a good job while leading the Delhi Capitals in the current Indian Premier League. 23-year-old Pant has been made the captain of Delhi Capitals because regular captain Shreyas Iyer was ruled out of the tournament due to injury.

On Lara's Star Sports 'Select Dugout Show', Pant has improved a lot in international cricket while playing against Australia and England in six months and now he is also handling the captaincy due to Iyer's injury. . He said that along with this, Delhi is also not getting the benefit of Anrich Nortje, Kagiso Rabada, and Akshar Patel. That is why Lara is expecting a lot more from Pant. Lara said that I think they have a team that will help them which is most important.

Lara further said that he has improved a lot in the last 6 months and I think he will do a good job. Delhi Capitals (DC) did not receive the services of Rabada and Anrich in the initial match, as they were in mandatory quarantine, while Akshar Patel is recovering from the coronavirus. Despite the absence of important players, the Delhi Capitals, led by Pant, started the Indian Premier League (IPL) campaign with a win and defeated Mahendra Singh Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings.
