If possible, we\u2019ll call him in Delhi. He\u2019ll be sitting beside me in the dugout. He\u2019s a guy with lots of energy and a terrific attitude. We can have his number on our shirts or caps. To clarify that he\u2019s our leader, even if he\u2019s not with us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"pb-2\" data-private=\"redact\" data-wt-guid=\"afeb7148-da9c-45d0-b5be-e801ce022b98\">Head coach Ricky Ponting also discussed his plans for the Capitals\u2019 first-choice wicketkeeper in the absence of Pant. Ponting stated, \u201cWe have not decided on that yet. We will take a look at the practice games ahead to decide. There is one big hole Rishabh leaves behind.
