Rishabh Pant’s Captaincy At Risk As Delhi Capitals Eye New Leadership

Rishabh Pant is unlikely to continue as captain of Delhi Capitals in IPL 2025, with reports suggesting India all-rounder Axar Patel as a potential replacement. While Pant remains a top retention choice, management believes he may perform better without captaincy pressures. Additionally, former cricketer Hemang Badani is a frontrunner for head coach, following Ricky Ponting’s departure.
