Pant wrote, "If go to the auction. Will I be sold or not and for how much?"
The left-handed attacking batter made his return to competitive cricket earlier this year in IPL 2024 after the horrific car crash that ruled him out of the entire 2023 season. He went on to win the ICC T20 World Cup with Rohit Sharma-led side before returning to ODI and Test squads.
After the announcement of the IPL Player Regulations by the BCCI last month, Delhi Capitals co-owner Parth Jindal confirmed that Pant "will definitely be retained" by the franchise.
"Yes, we definitely have to retain. We have some very good players in our team. The rules have come out now, so after discussing with GMR and our director of cricket, Sourav Ganguly, decisions will be made. Rishabh Pant will definitely be retained," Jindal told IANS earlier this month.
"We also have Axar Patel, who is excellent, Tristan Stubbs, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Kuldeep Yadav, Abishek Porel, Mukesh Kumar, and Khaleel Ahmed, all very good players in our team. We'll see what happens in the auction. But first, as per the rule, we can retain six players. After discussions, we will proceed with the auction and see what happens," he added.
Earlier, Pant lashed out at a social media user for claiming his possible link-up with Royal Challengers Bengaluru ahead of the IPL mega auction. However, the wicketkeeper reacted strongly to the post and called it "fake news".
The IPL franchises can retain a total of six players from their existing squad. This can be either via retention or by using the Right to Match (RTM) option. The six retentions/ RTM’s can have a maximum of five capped players (Indian Overseas) and a maximum of two uncapped players.
