Ahora que Rishabh Pant ya no está vinculado con los Delhi Capitals, DC necesita un nuevo capitán que pueda marcar el camino. Echa un vistazo a tres jugadores que son verdaderos candidatos para este puesto en la IPL 2025.
Delhi Capitals, who are looking to get their first IPL trophy, have come close many times but have failed to cross the final lines. For IPL 2025, the team has already started their planning with new ideas being all over. Before the auction, it came as a shock to many when DC decided to release Rishabh Pant, with many speculating that there was some rift between both parties. However, it turned out to be mere rumours. But still, since Rishabh Pant is no longer associated with DC, there is no leader in the camp. Many reports says that, with the mega auction over and a few teams looking for a new captain, DC is also in search of a new leader. They now have several names as potential captaincy candidates. Take a look at all the names who are real contenders for this role.
Faf Du Plessis
Not new to captaincy, whether we’re talking about the South Africa team or RCB, this star opener is known for his tactics as a skipper. Faf du Plessis is a strong contender for the Delhi Capitals captaincy role. Recently, in the CPL, under his leadership, Saint Lucia Kings won the cup. He captained RCB for three seasons, from 2022 to 2024, during which the team made it to the playoffs twice, making him a strong contender for the Delhi captaincy.
KL Rahul
Similar to Faf du Plessis, KL Rahul is also no stranger to the captaincy role, having already led Punjab Kings and Lucknow Super Giants. He impressed as a leader, taking the team to the playoffs multiple times. Now, KL Rahul is with Delhi Capitals, as DC acquired him for INR 14 crore in the IPL mega auction. Not only is he known for his batting, with 4,683 runs in 132 IPL matches, but he also knows how to manage teams, making him one of the contenders for the DC captaincy in IPL 2025.
Axar Patel
There were already rumours in the IPL market, with reports suggesting that Axar Patel will lead the Delhi Capitals camp. This was one of the reasons why the team retained him at the hefty price of Rs 16.50 crore. The star all-rounder has performed consistently and always stepped up whenever the team needed him, which could make him a strong candidate for the captaincy role. It will be interesting to see how it goes for him.
