IPL 2023 is going to start. The first game of the season will be played on March 31. All the teams are busy in their preparations. Players are slowly joining their team’s camps. In this year’s IPL, almost all the teams are struggling with injuries. Delhi Capitals team captain Rishabh Pant will also be unable to play the IPL this year due to injury. Meanwhile, the biggest question has now arisen: who will replace Rishabh Pant as wicketkeeper? Although the team has some options, who can bat at number 5 as goalkeeper instead of Rishabh. The team’s head coach Ricky Ponting has also listed the names of some players who can replace Rishabh Pant in the upcoming season.

Ponting said that Aman Khan is one of those players who has impressed him a lot. The Delhi team traded Shardul Thakur with KKR (Kolkata Knight Riders) to get Aman Khan. Ponting further said that Aman Khan has impressed him a lot in the last two days of practice sessions. Ponting, however, agreed that they have some good power hitters in their middle order who will try to make up for Pant’s absence. He said that when it comes to power hitters in the middle order, they have players like Aman Khan, Rovman Powell and Akshar Patel. Axar’s hitting has improved a lot in the last 12 months.

He also said that he will find a way to fill Rishabh’s void, but he won’t get the same skilled player. Ricky Ponting mentioned Aman Khan’s name many times during this period. In such a situation, in the absence of Rishabh, the lottery can be held from him. Speaking of the goalkeeper, Sarfaraz Khan may be one of the new options in the team. A few days ago he was also practicing wicketkeeping.
