IPL 2025: The Delhi Capitals (DC) are considering their captaincy options for the 2025 IPL season, with KL Rahul and Axar Patel emerging as top contenders. The Delhi Capitals are yet to win the coveted IPL trophy and will be looking to end the drought in the upcoming edition of the IPL. DC has already acquired a strong squad for the upcoming tournament but will need a strong captain to lead them in IPL 2025.
Who will be Delhi Capitals captain in IPL 2025?
KL Rahul
KL Rahul is a seasoned leader with experience captaining both the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Punjab Kings (PBKS). His leadership skills and strategic acumen have been well documented, and he brings significant brand value to the team. Rahul has played 132 IPL matches, scoring 4,638 runs at an average of 45.47 with a strike rate of 134.61. His ability to perform under pressure and his experience in high-stakes matches make him a compelling choice for the captaincy role.
Axar Patel
Axar Patel, on the other hand, is a consistent performer and a key player for DC. He has been with the franchise for several seasons and has earned the respect of his teammates. Patel has played 150 IPL matches, scoring 1,653 runs at an average of 21.47 with a strike rate of 130.88. As an all-rounder, he has also taken 123 wickets with an average of 30.55. His calm demeanor and tactical acumen make him a strong candidate for the captaincy role.
Faf du Plessis
While Faf du Plessis may not be as popular an option as Rahul or Patel, the South African brings a lot to the table. Currently, he is leading the Joburg Super Kings in SA20 2025. He also has a rich experience of IPL captaincy, as he has led RCB in the previous editions of the IPL.
