As you may know, the IPL is just around the corner, and now all the teams are preparing with full enthusiasm. So far, all the teams have announced the names of their captains, except for one team—Delhi Capitals. Since Rishabh Pant could not be retained by the team, their search for a captain has been ongoing. So, they approached KL Rahul and included him in their team, but now KL Rahul has also refused to take on the captaincy.
Why did KL Rahul reject the captaincy of Delhi Capitals?
As you all must have seen live on TV, during the last year LSG match, there was an argument between the LSG owner (Mr. Sanjiv Goenka) and KL Rahul. Due to this, KL Rahul will not be retained by LSG this time. However, who wouldn’t want to buy a good player? So, this time, Delhi Capitals bought KL Rahul because, apart from being a great player, he is also a wicketkeeper, which means Delhi Capitals won’t feel the absence of Rishabh Pant. With this thought, Delhi bought him, believing that KL Rahul would be their captain. But it seems KL Rahul is no longer interested in captaincy and, after last year’s argument, now wants to play as a regular player in the team.
Who can become the new captain of Delhi Capitals?
If KL Rahul had not refused to become the captain, he would have been the captain of Delhi Capitals. But now, someone else has to take on the role. The strongest contender for Delhi Capitals’ captaincy seems to be Axar Patel. Axar Patel has been associated with Delhi Capitals since 2019, and the team also has faith in him. So, this time, Axar Patel is likely to become the captain of Delhi Capitals. However, it is not yet officially confirmed that he will be the captain, but he has the highest chances. This is because, in Rishabh Pant’s absence, Axar has led the team multiple times.

Whether they will have a chance to win the trophy or not will only be revealed by watching the IPL. So, enjoy the IPL, support your favorite teams, and stay updated with all the latest IPL news.
