    On Tuesday, Delhi Capitals announced that 23-year-old Rishabh Pant is set to become the new captain of the franchise ahead of the 14th edition of the Indian Premier League after Shreyas Iyer was ruled out of the tournament with a severe shoulder injury.

    “Rishabh Pant will be our Captain for #IPL2021 @ShreyasIyer15 has been ruled out of the upcoming season following his injury in the #INDvENG series and @RishabhPant17 will lead the team in his absence,” read Delhi Capitals’ Twitter post.
    During the first of three ODIs between India and England at Pune’s Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium, Iyer had suffered a subluxation of his left shoulder which led to him being ruled out of the England series and the 2021 season of the Indian T20 league as well.
    I’ve been reading your messages and have been overwhelmed by all the outpouring of love and support. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone. You know what they say, the greater the setback, the stronger the comeback. I shall be back soon ️ pic.twitter.com/RjZTBAnTMX

    In his absence, fans and critics of the game got involved in a tough debate about who the next leader of the squad should be, given Capitals’ arsenal of talented and experienced players.
    Names like Ravichandran Ashwin, Ajinkya Rahane, Shikhar Dhawan, and Steve Smith were some that make it through to the top of the line with youngsters Prithvi Shaw and Rishabh Pant also making a couple of cameos.
    However, reacting to the team’s decision to make Pant the skipper has left a majority of their followers stunned and a little disappointed, even the ones loyal to the southpaw, himself.
    Really poor decision, Rahane or Ashwin should have led the side , even Smith would have been better option. I hope extra burden of captaincy doesn't hamper Pant's

    — Praga (@Praga_31) March 30, 2021Big Pant fan but this is a bad call. Will affect his performance
    — Jarl (@Jarl_AFC) March 30, 2021LoL Why the management had made this wrong decision , he was playing good for the couple of months , now captain will have more pressure to bat. I thought Rahane or Smith will be the captain ☹️
    — ⭐ Rajesh ⭐ (@itisrajeshkc) March 30, 2021Pant has been phenomenal for the Men in Blue as a middle-order batsman. Getting the call to replace Iyer in the India-England series allowed him an avenue to show off his versatility as a batsman, dominating in both red and white-ball cricket.
    Ironically, this also becomes the very reason why Pant’s captaincy becomes a big reason to worry about. While absolutely lethal as a hitter, being put under the burden of being a franchise skipper, that too with some of the biggest legends of the game playing as subordinates might just end up throwing Pant off his form - at least that’s what the fans on Twitter feel.

    Making it to the finals of the 2020 edition of the Indian Premier League, only to lose by Rohit Sharma and his Mumbai Indians squad by five wickets, Delhi Capitals made their team significantly better by adding an ace batsman like Steve Smith to their roster during the mini-auction.
    However, the loss of Shreyas Iyer will definitely leave a huge gap in their middle order and Pant’s development as a player and now as a captain will be put to a difficult test.
