Delhi Capitals have appointed all-rounder Axar Patel as their captain for the IPL 2025 season, replacing Rishabh Pant, who has moved to Lucknow Super Giants.

The 31-year-old has prior leadership experience, having captained Gujarat in domestic cricket and served as India's T20I vice-captain. With a revamped coaching staff, Patel aims to lead Delhi Capitals to their maiden IPL title. His appointment marks a new era for the franchise as they strategize for the upcoming season.
