India international Axar Patel is the last IPL 2025 captain to be named as Delhi Capitals make belated announcement.

India's spin-bowling all-rounder Axar Patel has been named Delhi Capitals captain ahead of the new Indian Premier League season, the team said on Friday.

India all-rounder Axar Patel has been named as Rishabh Pant's successor as Delhi Capitals captain for the forthcoming Indian Premier League. Pant became the most expensive player in IPL history when he was signed by Lucknow Super Giants at last year's auction for 27 crore (£2.

Delhi Capitals appointed Axar Patel as captain for IPL season 18, starting March 22. With 11 years of IPL experience and strong past performances, Patel expressed readiness to lead a promising squad while acknowledging the support from team management.
