Young Delhi Capitals star Abishek Porel acknowledged that the team will miss former captain Rishabh Pant in the upcoming IPL season. Pant, who was released from DC and signed by Lucknow Super Giants for a record-breaking INR 27 crore, was a key player for DC. Axar Patel has been named the new captain for DC. Porel, who played under Pant’s captaincy last season, expressed his admiration for Pant’s leadership and match-winning abilities.
Porel praised Axar’s leadership skills and expressed confidence in the team’s goal to win the IPL trophy. He mentioned that the team’s mentality is focused on reaching the final and clinching the title. Porel is prepared to step into Pant’s role as the wicketkeeper-batter for DC this season and is willing to bat in any position as per the team’s requirement.
The 22-year-old emphasized that team success is more important to him than personal milestones, stating that he aims to perform for the team and contribute to victories. Porel’s positive attitude and team-first mentality reflect his commitment to Delhi Capitals’ success in the upcoming season.
