India players Rishabh Pant and Pratika Rawal will be among the biggest names in a pool of 600 players set to go under the hammer at the auction of the third Delhi Premier League T20.

AB De Villiers said that there was little surprise that Rishabh Pant joined Delhi Capitals from Lucknow Super Giants ahead of IPL 2027.

Rishabh Pant started his IPL career with Delhi Capitals (then Delhi Daredevils) in 2016. He had represented DC in eight IPL seasons before moving to LSG in 2025 after a record bid of Rs 27 crore in the auction.

Rishabh Pant, who was bought by LSG for a record-breaking Rs 27 crore in 2025, has taken a Rs 12 crore pay cut to rejoin DC, a franchise where he spent the first nine years of his IPL career before moving to Lucknow.

Rishabh Pant's journey at Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) is over. The Rs 27 crore gamble has not worked out. And the signs were there a long time ago.

Former Australia cricketer David Warner left fans talking with a cheeky reaction to Delhi Capitals (DC) co-owner Parth Jindal's post announcing Rishabh Pant's return to the franchise.

Delhi Capitals co-owner Parth Jindal bid an emotional farewell to Kuldeep Yadav while welcoming Rishabh Pant back to the franchise after the Indian Premier League (IPL) confirmed a blockbuster trade between Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants ahead of the 2027 season.
