The Delhi Capital needed a Leader in the absence of their captain Shreyas Iyer, so he thought Pant would be a good fit for his absence, although the right-handed batsman will be missing this year's IPL, he surely did not forget to convey his message to the new lad who will be taking over the DC team this year.

Iyer said that Pant has all his good wishes to do miracles for the Delhi team, he also twitted saying that he will miss the team, but he is not going to stop cheering them up from the house as well, Suresh Raina also said that with Pant as the captain of DC he would be a Talismanic leader.

When Pant was appointed as the DC captain and was asked about his opinion he said it was his dream as he grew up in Delhi and started his journey six years back, "My dream was to lead this great team one day and, that’s what happened yesterday when my name was announced as the skipper of the side."

Although, he feels humbled and grateful for the owners of the team to trust him in leading the team which has a great staff to work with and accomplish his job as a captain for the Delhi Capitals.
