Dear kuldeep

Lucknow Super Giants: Delhi Capitals co-owner Parth Jindal bid an emotional farewell to Kuldeep Yadav while welcoming Rishabh Pant back to the franchise after the Indian Premier League (IPL) confirmed a blockbuster trade between Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants ahead of the 2027 season.

The trade will see wicketkeeper-batter Pant return to Delhi Capitals, the franchise where he spent the first nine seasons of his IPL career, while left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav heads to Lucknow Super Giants after five successful seasons with DC.

Reacting to the move, Jindal paid tribute to Kuldeep's contribution to the franchise and expressed confidence that the spinner would continue to excel with his new team.
