Former legendary West Indies batsman Brian Lara has heaped praise on newly-appointed Delhi Capitals skipper Rishabh Pant. Lara stated Pant has taken giant strides in the last four months and he will do a good job for the Capitals in the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League. Pant was handed over the captaincy baton after DC’s full-time skipper Shreyas Iyer was ruled out due to a shoulder injury.
