KL Rahul who led Lucknow Super Giants till IPL 2024 will now play for Delhi Capitals in the upcoming season. Rahul recently won the Champions Trophy with India

Delhi Capitals head to Visakhapatnam for their IPL 2025 opener against Lucknow Super Giants. Newly appointed vice-captain Faf Du Plessis brings extensive T20 and IPL experience to the team. The squad includes notable names like T.

KL Rahul, who was reportedly approached by the franchise to take on the captaincy role, opted against being part of the leadership group.

Delhi Capitals appointed South Africa star Faf du Plessis as their vice-captain on Monday, March 17. The star batter will be captain Axar Patel's deputy in the revamped set-up.

Faf du Plessis was bought by Delhi Capitals for Rs 2 crore in the accelerated round of the bidding process after he did not get any takers in the opening round.

DC released their captain Rishabh Pant ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction and then appointed star all-rounder Axar Patel as their new captain for the upcoming season. And now, they have also announced a player who will assist Axar in IPL 2025.

India all-rounder Axar Patel has been named as Rishabh Pant's successor as Delhi Capitals captain for the forthcoming Indian Premier League. Pant became the most expensive player in IPL history when he was signed by Lucknow Super Giants at last year's auction for 27 crore (£2.

Indian all-rounder Axar Patel has been appointed as Delhi Capitals (DC) captain ahead of the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season, with the spin bowling all-rounder having a key task ahead of him to not only fill up former skipper Rishabh Pant's gigantic shoes but also guide the team to their first-ever title.

IPL 2025 will start on 22 March. This means that only a few days are left for the tournament to start. Earlier, Delhi Capitals has also announced the name of its new captain. Delhi has handed over the command of the team to Akshar Patel in the 18th season.
