There are speculations that Delhi Capitals may release Rishabh Pant in such a situation reports have come out that the CSK management is also ready to spend Rs 20 crore on Pant.
Will Rishabh Pant join CSK?
According to The Indian Express Chennai Super Kings is ready to pay Rs 20 crore to buy Rishabh Pant but the problem is that nothing has been decided yet about Pant going to the auction.
