Xtra Time Web Desk: Newly appointed Delhi Capitals captain Rishabh Pant on Wednesday said he will try and give his hundred percent for the franchise on the responsibility handed over to him. According to Pant, Delhi Capitals will try and give it their best shot to try and win the coveted IPL trophy this season.

“Thank you Delhi Capitals for showing faith in me. I will try to give hundred percent each and every day and hopefully we will cross the line this year. Delhi fans keep supporting us,” said Pant in a video message uploaded by the DC franchise on its social media handles.

Pant will step in as captain for the 14th edition of the tournament, for the injured Shreyas Iyer, who hurt his left shoulder during the recently concluded India-England ODI series.

On his new role, Pant said, “Delhi is where I grew up, and where my IPL journey began six years ago. To lead this team one day is a dream I’ve always harboured. And today, as that dream comes true, I feel humbled. I am truly grateful, especially to our team owners, who considered me capable enough for this role. With an amazing coaching staff, and a plethora of accomplished seniors around me, I can’t wait to give my absolute best for Delhi Capitals.”
