3 reasons why Delhi Capitals announced Axar Patel as their captain for IPL 2025

After a long wait, Delhi Capitals (DC) have finally announced their captain for the upcoming season, and it’s none other than Axar Patel. The all-rounder has a lot of work to do in this season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) since he will be working with a set of new players. 

He will surely have help from KL Rahul and Faf du Plessis on the captaincy front, but despite that, managing the workload might be an issue for the captain. Axar is one of the most talented players on the team, doing his job with the bat and the ball. However, since the management has trusted Axar, let’s look at the few reasons behind this decision. 

Here are the three reasons why Delhi Capitals chose Axar Patel as their captain:

Consistency

Axar Patel is one of the most consistent players in the Delhi Capitals at the moment. In the previous season, he not only contributed with the ball but did his best with the bat as well. In 14 games, he scored 235 runs at an average of 29.38 and took 11 wickets. It was a wise decision to hand over the captaincy to the most consistent player in the team. 

Experience

The all-rounder carries a lot of experience as well since he has played with the franchise for a long time. He can help the other players understand the team dynamics of DC and how things work. Moreover, as a player, he has been playing cricket for a long time. 

Current form

Axar is the vice-captain of the Indian team and is in terrific form altogether. In the Champions Trophy, we scored runs and took wickets. Hence, his current form will also help DC in the upcoming tournament.
