The 2025-edition of the Indian Premier League is about to get going from March 22, where all ten teams will encounter at the biggest T20 carnival. In recent times, Delhi Capitals have not decided their captain but now the wait is over as the DC-management is about announce their captain today (Friday) at 9:30 AM. For this announcement, there has been a video released by the team-management on social media.

Axar In The Race Of Captaincy

After KL Rahul neglecting the captaincy offer, Axar Patel becomes the prominent choice for the DC captaincy. Axar is associated with DC for a long time and now it’s time for DC to offer him his right.

Rahul Declined Captaincy Offer

Rahul was widely considered a strong contender for the Delhi Capitals captaincy. However, recent reports suggest that he has declined the offer to take on this role. Rahul has decided to focus solely on his batting for the upcoming IPL season, which led to his decision.

Despite consistently performing well in the IPL, Rahul has been opening the innings for a while now. However, his strike rate has dipped in recent seasons. As a result, many have suggested that stepping away from the pressures of captaincy could help him regain his form with the bat.
