Lalit Yadav has done a fine job and will learn to contribute with the bat, too: Rishabh Pant

Rishabh Pant spoke highly of young all-rounder Lalit Yadav. Lalit Yadav made his debut for Delhi Capitals in IPL 2021 and was highly impressive. The all-rounder hasn't received an opportunity to showcase his talent with the bat much. However, he grabbed all the opportunities that came his way to establish himself as a frontline spinner for the team. Bowling against KKR, the all-rounder gave away just 13 runs in his three overs and picked up two crucial wickets of Eoin Morgan and Sunil Narine. Rishabh Pant believes that Lalit Yadav has done a fine job and will learn to contribute with the bat too.

After the win, Rishabh Pant-led Delhi Capitals have secured second place in the IPL 2021 points table with 10 points from seven games. Chennai Super Kings is currently leading the table with 10 points from six games. MS Dhoni-led CSK is presently leading the table because of their better net run-rate compared to Delhi Capitals and RCB, who also have 10 points. Rishabh Pant, when asked about leading Delhi Capitals, stated that he was definitely enjoying the captaincy. Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore also have 10 points each. Delhi Capitals will next play Punjab Kings in the 29th match of the season at the same venue.
