Pant set to be traded to Delhi Capitals; LSG to get Kuldeep in return


Recommended Posts

That's it for Kuldeep. He's going to be Goenka's next victim after KL and Pant :((

 

And don't understand why DC would bring in Pant. He isn't a T20 player and the only reason I can think of is that Pant's a local player and DC may get more fan following with Pant in the team.

 

Is it safe to say Goenka no longer thinks Pant will be considered similar to Dhoni and Rohit as IPL captain and that LSG won't be winning IPL trophies with Pant at the helm? :giggle:

Two useless players trading spots. Either of them is no use for either Team.. :wp1:

 

Pant lost 12 crores which LSG saved . But he should be no more than 6-8 crore range.

Even 6-8 cr is too much for Pant in IPL. He's a bang average T20 batter and anything over 2-3 cr is too much. As for Kuldeep I've never been a fan of Chahal and Kuldeep - both mental midgets. He's a Test player just like Pant and to me this is DC offloading someone they don't want to LSG. Kuldeep can't bat, can't field/catch and loses the plot as soon as batters go after him. He should only be played on a spin friendly pitch and that too when you don't have a half-decent spin all-rounder.

Its a good trade for LSG. Their batting is solid when not disturbed by Pant and they missed a spinner after Digvesh got exposed. Would likely get some extra cash too.

 

Not sure what Pant would do at DC. Hopefully he isnr made captain.

Pant is useless in every squad. Probably Rahane - Pant trade will work. Same damage perspective

Fitting Pant in any modern day T20 lineup is a problem. T20s has changed and the top order has to strike at 180-200. And the middle order also can't take their time and have to bat anywhere from 155-170 SR. Pant doesn't fit anywhere.

 

Pant is a player who needs to take some time before he can score. That's why his best format is Tests coz there's no pressure for him to score from the first ball. Under pressure Pant tries to manufacture shots with cross batted heaves/slogs, sweeps, reverse sweeps etc. and he fails more often than not. It's sad but he doesn't have a chance in T20s. ODIs may have been an option but Ishan's emergence along with Samson's heroics in the recent WT20 have closed that door as well.

 

That car accident turned out to be a life changer for Pant. And he better focus on Tests coz if he struggles there then likes of Jurel and Ishan can very well take that spot as well and he won't be able to get in.

Rahane is the reason for KKR's downfall. There was no reason to bring him in. They had a set squad with Venky and Raghuvanshi. But KKR management got Rahane in for no reason whatsoever instead of backing Venky Iyer and the results are there for all to see.

Sad but true! Pant should consider skipping the IPL altogether. Every season he is struggling like a rookie and embarrassing himself.

A noncaptain Pant will be much better.

So Pant volunteered to take paycut to facilitate the trade.If he did then this practice needs to be stopped.Why is player responsible to take cut, players associations need to be formed to protect players.

 

Moronic owners loaded with money going for ridiculous auctions based on ego should not be bailed out.
