Last season, under Rishabh Pant’s captaincy, Delhi Capitals had a disappointing campaign, finishing sixth with 14 points. The IPL 2024 witnessed high-scoring totals, with Sunrisers Hyderabad continuing their form in the opener against Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2025. As Delhi Capitals gear up to face Lucknow Super Giants in their first match of the season, new skipper Axar Patel emphasized the need for the team to adapt to the changing dynamics of cricket. Reflecting on Pant’s tenure as captain, Axar highlighted the importance of staying ahead of the game and adjusting strategies according to the situation. The departure of Pant saw KL Rahul stepping in as his replacement, while Pant joined Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL auction. Axar’s approach as captain focuses on simplicity and effective execution. The team aims to evolve and perform better in the upcoming season by learning from past experiences and being proactive in their approach.
