One team that has undergone significant upheaval is the Delhi Capitals, who signed KL Rahul, a possible leader, after firing their previous captain, Rishabh Pant. Rahul reportedly turned down the team’s offer of captaincy because he wants to be a more valuable player, despite the fact that it was thought he would be the new captain. The vice-captain of India’s T20I team, Axar Patel, may assume leadership duties, according to the report.
The Indian Premier League (IPL), which is scheduled to start on March 22, will now replace the Champions Trophy in the Indian cricket circuit. Both fans and experts have seen significant changes in the 10 teams as a result of the November 2024 mega auction.
“Yes, Axar Patel is probably going to be selected as the Delhi Capitals’ IPL 2025 captain. KL Rahul was requested to be the team’s captain by the franchise, but he is eager to play for the squad in the next tournament, according to the sources, who were cited by NDTV.
The Lucknow Super Giants will be led by Rishabh Pant.
Rishabh Pant, a former DC captain and Champions Trophy colleague, was the most expensive player in the auction that the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) purchased, despite the fact that Rahul may not be leading the Capitals in 2025. For an astounding INR 27 crore, the left-hander was removed from the game.
Pant is strongly supported by the team to achieve excellent achievements and has been nominated to lead the LSG franchise in the forthcoming tournament. From 2021 to 2024, the former 2024 T20 World Champion captained the Delhi team in 43 games, winning 24 and losing 19.
