As IPL 2025 approaches, the Capitals of Delhi are at a crossroads to select their new captain after having failed to keep Rishabh Pant at the mega auction last year. However, Aakash Chopra suggested three names for the captain – Axar Patel, Kl Rahul and Faf du Plessis.
The Capitals of Delhi have kept the versatile Indian Axar Patel for a large INR crossing of 16.50 after its consistent performance with Bat and Ball in recent seasons. Axar has also been assistant to Rishabh Pant and is currently Indian vice-captain in T20i format, which makes him a solid candidate to take care of. And Chopra feels that Patel will be the perfect choice for DC.

The former striker continued: “He will also play the Champions Trophy and also gave a very important role in the Indian team Odi. He is mature. He is brilliant. He understands the game pulse. He puts the team in front of him. So it could be an excellent choice.
On the other hand, the signing of KL Rahul for a huge INR 14 crore added another dimension to the debate. Chopra said that KL Rahul’s tactical and composure meaning, apart from her leadership experience, made it another excellent option for Delhi’s side.

Aakash Chopra says that Faf du Plessis can be the third option if Delhi’s capitals came out of the box
Meanwhile, the entry of the Joker into the Captain of the Capitals of Delhi is Faf du Plessis. The former captain of the RCB and South Africa, which was taken by the franchise for its basic price of INR 2 crores, has a rich experience of captain, and his strategic spirit could offer Delhi a new perspective.
However, Chora believes that it would be Axar Patel, who would eventually win the race to become the next DC captain before IPL 2025. But he did not cancel or KL Rahul or Faf du Plessis.
He signed by saying: “I think it will be a tight race. One was kept and the other was bought. So one between the two, or if they want to think absolutely on the left, then Faf du Plessis, which does not age at all. However, I have the feeling that it could be axar. »»
