Gavaskar said while he expects Delhi Capitals to rope in Pant once again, he also wondered if there was a disagreement over the fee between the franchise and the player.

“The auction dynamics are completely different; we don’t really know how it will go. But what I feel is that Delhi would certainly want Rishabh Pant back in the squad,” Gavaskar told Star Sports.

“Sometimes, when a player is to be retained, there is talk between the franchise and the player and franchise about the fees that are expected.”

“As you can see, some of the players who have been retained by the franchise, they’ve gone for more than say, what the No 1 retention fee deduction would be. Clearly I think, maybe there was some disagreement over there,” he said.
