Delhi Capitals (DC) are gearing up for a transformative season in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, particularly in their leadership structure. Following the release of former ca✱ptain Rishabh Pant, the franchise has confirmed a dual captaincy arrangement. This decision was announced by 🔴co-owner Parth Jindal shortly after the mega auction held in Jeddah.

Key choices for Delhi Capitals as captain 

1.) KL Rahul

Acquired for ₹14 crore, KL Rahul is no stranger to captaincy in the IPL, having previously led the Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). Known for his consistent performances, Rah🅰ul has amassed over 4,600 IPL runs, making him one of the most reliable batters in the league. His ability to anchor the innings and guide young batters will be pivotal for DC in the upcoming season.

Jindal expressed confidence in Rahul’s leadership, emphasizing his playoff experience and his knack for delivering under pressure. Rahul’s calm demeanour and strategic approach to the game make him an invaluable asset in Delhi’s quest for IPL glory.

2.) Axar Patel

Axar Patel, retained for ₹16.5 crore, has been a cornerstone of DC’s lineup with his all-round abilities and leadership potential. Having captained the side in Pant’s absence, Axar’s deep understanding of the team dynamics and his ability to mentor younger players have earned him the co-captaincy role.

Jindal highlighted Axar’s influence in strengthening DC’s batting and bowling depth, noting his consistent performances and tactical mindset. His transition into a formal leadership role aligns with the team’s vision of building a strong core for the future.

Although not officially named in the leadership group, the former South Africa and RCB captain’s presence is expected to play a mentoring role. His insights and ability to make strategic decisions under pressure could prove instrumental in shaping DC’s campaign.

DC aims for IPL glory

With the combination of Rahul’s batting mastery and Patel’s all-round brilliance, DC have adopted an innovative leadership model designed to maximize their strengths. The dual captaincy strategy aims to balance the demands of a long tournament while fostering collaboration and adaptability on the field.
