Rishabh Pant, reportedly, will not captain the Delhi Capitals in IPL 2025. Axar Patel may take over as the new IPL captain.

"Yes, the Delhi Capitals could be looking for a new captain. There are chances that India allrounder Axar Patel may take over as the new IPL captain, or the franchise could be eyeing someone who is captaincy material at the IPL auction,” TOI quoted a source as saying.

With the GMR group running the show for DC instead of JSW, it seems that the Capitals are in for a shakeup. A few months ago they parted ways with head coach Ricky Ponting.

According to cricbuzz, Hemang Badani will take charge as head coach for the upcoming two seasons. The same report also claimed that a new Director of Cricket will replace legendary India captain Sourav Ganguly.

Earlier, in an interaction with Bengal daily Aajkal, Ganguly had expressed his wish to become the head coach of the Delhi Capitals.

"I have to plan for next year's IPL. I want to win the IPL for Delhi Capitals once. The mega auction is next year, and hence I have started planning from now on. Let me break a news. Ricky Ponting will not be the head coach of Delhi Capitals. Geoffery Boycott was right, as Ponting has not been able to take the franchise forward in the past 7 years. I have to speak with the franchise and ask them to look at Indian coaches.I will be the head coach. Let's see how I perform," Ganguly had said.

While there has been no official word from the franchisee, fans will eagerly await to see who will take the reins of DC.
