Axar Patel Takes the Helm as Delhi Capitals Captain for IPL 2025
In a significant move ahead of the highly anticipated IPL 2025 season, Delhi Capitals have appointed all-rounder Axar Patel as their new captain. This announcement marks a fresh chapter for the franchise, which is eager to bounce back after a disappointing previous season under Rishabh Pant’s leadership.
Axar, who has played over 150 IPL matches, brings a wealth of experience to this pivotal role. He has been a core member of the Delhi Capitals since 2019, showcasing his skills with both bat and ball. With a record of 1,653 runs and 123 wickets, he has established himself as one of the franchise’s top performers.
A New Era Begins
Despite his untested captaincy experience at the IPL level, Axar’s consistent performances and leadership qualities have earned him this responsibility. Expressing his gratitude, Axar stated, “It is my absolute honour to captain the Delhi Capitals, and I’m deeply grateful to our owners and support staff for placing their faith in me.”
As the team prepares for the season, they will conduct a training camp in Delhi before heading to Visakhapatnam. Key players like KL Rahul, who is expected to be one of Axar’s trusted aides, will join the squad. Rahul’s previous captaincy experience will be invaluable, although he may miss a couple of games due to personal commitments.
Looking Ahead
Delhi Capitals are the last team to announce their captain this season, joining five other franchises with new leadership. With a balanced squad and a mix of experienced players, the team is poised to make a significant impact in the upcoming season.
