New Delhi: The Delhi Capitals team has announced its new captain for the Indian Premier League 2023. Australia’s dashing opener batsman David Warner has been made the new captain of the team. Warner will lead Delhi Capitals in place of Rishabh Pant. After Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL, Warner will now captain Delhi. It was under Warner’s captaincy that the Sunrisers team won the IPL title in the year 2016. In such a situation, Warner will once again try to take Delhi Capitals up the ladder of success under his leadership.
Not only in captaincy, Delhi Capitals have also announced the name of their new vice-captain. Spin bowling all-rounder Akshar Patel will be the new vice-captain of Delhi Capitals. In such a situation, in the absence of Warner, Akshar Patel will captain the team. Rishabh Pant is away from cricket due to car accident
Let us tell you that Rishabh Pant, the regular captain of Delhi Capitals, was seriously injured in a car accident on December 31 last year. After this, he remained admitted in the hospital for a long time. Although now he is recovering fast, but in spite of this, it may take around 7 to 8 months for him to be fully fit.
In such a situation, he is not able to play not only for Team India but also for his team Delhi Capitals in IPL. This is the reason why David Warner has been made the captain of the team in his place.
