IND vs SA Highlights: Getting to captain in your hometown, nothing bigger than this: Team India captain Rishabh Pant
With a smile on his face and an applause at the press conference venue, he emerged and took the centre stage. The new India captain, Rishabh Pant. He’ll get a much louder reception for sure when India walk out at the Arun Jaitley stadium on Thursday against South Africa in the first T20I. This is after all the city where he has played most of his cricket. The 2 AM bus rides from Roorkee to Delhi, the refuge in gurudwaras in the nights are already part of the Pant folklore. This is the city that moulded his cricket persona in many ways.
