Rishabh Pant’s return to the Delhi Capitals has prompted discussion about who should lead the team. Writing on the matter, former India batter Wasim Jaffer urges Pant to focus on rebuilding his batting form rather than taking on captaincy responsibilities immediately.
Both outlets note that Axar Patel’s captaincy has come under scrutiny after a relatively underwhelming season. In that context, the potential for KL Rahul to take over leadership is also being discussed. While the reports center on Jaffer’s advice to Pant, they frame it alongside the broader question of whether Delhi should retain its current captain or consider alternatives going forward. No single source reports a definitive decision by the franchise, but the commentary highlights competing considerations for the team’s leadership and Pant’s priorities upon his return.
