Speaking to RevSportz, Jindal revealed that after the previous IPL season, the management, gave Pant an “honest feedback" on his performance and on not getting what was expected of the team. However, Pant did not take the feedback well and made an “emotional call” to leave Delhi Capitals.

“Not retaining Pant was not about ownership. It was a very collective decision. We had a lot of discussions with Rishabh. There were things that were expected of Rishabh, which we did not get in the last or in the previous seasons. We gave him an honest feedback. But the feedback was not taken as the way we expected it to be taken. He then took an emotional call,” he said.
