IPL 2021: Rishabh Pant has got the intelligence to be one step ahead of the opponents, says Pragyan Ojha

Rishabh Pant was named captain of the Delhi Capitals before the starting of IPL 2021 after Shreyas Iyer got ruled out of the tournament with a shoulder injury.

Former India off-spinner Pragyan Ojha praised Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant's cricketing knowledge and "game-reading sense" ahead of their match against Rajasthan Royals in Mumbai on Thursday. 2021 has already been the best year in Pant's career so far. He was the third-highest run-scorer for India in the Test series in Australia and scored a lot of runs in the white-ball home series against England last month.
