Former Royal Challengers Bengaluru captain Faf du Plessis has been appointed as vice-captain of Delhi Capitals for IPL 2025.

Delhi Capitals have made a huge announcement and confirmed their vice-captain for IPL 2025. KL Rahul, who reportedly rejected DC's offer to lead the team, will not be part of the leadership group. The franchise recently appointed Axar Patel as their captain for the upcoming season.

Delhi Capitals have appointed Axar Patel as captain for the IPL 2025 season. Patel, a prominent all-rounder, brings extensive experience and a strong team rapport. Mohit Sharma expressed excitement about the new season and joins the team following a successful stint with Gujarat Titans.

The team’s longest-serving player will be shouldering the duties having been with the franchise since 2019, appearing in 82 matches.

KL Rahul ignored once again as Delhi Capitals confirmed Axar Patel's deputy for the upcoming edition of the IPL.

With IPL 2025 just around the corner, teams have finalized their leadership. Delhi Capitals have appointed star all-rounder Akshar Patel as the new captain, a decision that has already drawn positive reactions.
