IND vs WI:With the West Indies tour just around the corner, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) are likely to take a few bold steps in the selection of the team. As per the reports in PTI, it is learned that governing body has highlighted five major points before announcing the team for the tour.&nbsp;



One of the main talking points for the selection is the place of Cheteshwar Pujara and Umesh Yadav in the Test side. The duo has been part of the team for the last decade and has contributed significantly to the team. But of late their performances have been concerning and they failed terribly in the WTC Final.&nbsp;



It is learned that in their Yashasvi Jaiswal and Mukesh Kumar are likely to be selected. The duo has performed exceptionally well in the domestic circuit. The young batter can be slotted at No.3 in place of Pujara whereas Mukesh Kumar can walk into XI, especially in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah.&nbsp;

The reports also suggested that players who performed exceptionally well in the recently concluded IPL 2023 are likely to get rewarded with a T20I selection. Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Rinku Singh and Jitesh Sharma are the prime candidates that are likely to be part of the T20 team.&nbsp;



It is also learned that senior players will continue to be on the sidelines in the shortest format of the game and Hardik Pandya will captain the young side. The all-rounder took charge of the T20 team after India?s exit from the semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2023.&nbsp;



IND vs WI: Here are the Major taking points&nbsp; for the West Indies series&nbsp;



- Place of Pujara &amp; Umesh in Tests.



- Jaiswal &amp; Mukesh for Tests.



- IPL performers are likely to get rewarded with T20I selection.&nbsp;



- Jaiswal, Ruturaj, Rinku, and Jitesh for T20I.



- Youngsters core to continue in T20I under Hardik.

A lot of players donned Indian whites in the last two editions of the ICC World Test Championship. There were quite a few staggering performances for India throughout the two cycles but it was an utter disappointment in the two finals.?



Another loss in the ICC tournament has raised some eyebrows and has seen many calling for some harsh steps to be taken. It?s fair to say that the upcoming edition of the ICC World Test Championship will see some new faces in the Indian team as the pacer of some senior players are under serious scanner.&nbsp;



There have been quite a few young players in the domestic circuit that have set the stage on fire and might be in contention for the spot in the team. The likes of Sarfaraz Khan, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Mukesh Kumar and many others have been hogging the headlines for their performances and it?s fair to say that they might be there in the team soon.?

Dinesh Karthik however, feels the same. He said that Sarfaraz Khan, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Mukesh Kumar should be given longer rope in the Tests in the upcoming ICC WTC edition. Speaking to Cricbuzz, he backed three youngsters to take charge.?

There have been quite a few reports that suggest that Jaiswal and Mukesh will be drafted into the team for the upcoming series against West Indies. Whereas as far as Sarfaraz is concerned, he?s the best domestic batter in India currently and might even play in the West Indies series.&nbsp;

RSA vs IND, 3rd T20I: Following a disheartening setback at the hands of the Mighty Proteas in the second T20I, Team India will try to even the series with a win in the third T20I. The Men in Blue managed to post a total of 180 runs on the board thanks to some brilliant knocks from Rinku Singh (68 runs off 39 balls) and Suryakumar Yadav (56 runs off 36 balls) and a decent innings of 29 runs by Tilak Verma, but the Rain Gods had other plans as the rain interruption quickened the slow pitch and the South Africans were asked to chase 152 runs from 15 overs.



With an aggressive approach, openers Reeza Hendricks and Matthew Breetzke went after the Indian bowlers from ball one and got The Proteas off to a flier in the first three overs, with the score reading 42-0 and 24 runs coming off Young Arshdeep Singh's first over. Breetzke then threw his wicket away in search of a second run when there was no need for it, but his dismissal didn?t bother the South Africans much as Skipper Markram walked in to bat at no. 3 and continued the aggressive approach by smashing a hat-trick of 4?s in Mukesh Kumar?s 1st over.



The wet outfield didn?t assist the Indian bowlers either, as they struggled to grip the ball throughout the 2nd inning and paid the price for missing their line and length, and the South African batters capitalized on their mistakes by hammering the Indian bowlers to all parts of the ground.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/12/shamsi-1.jpg" alt="ICC T20I Player Rankings (Rank 1 to 10) Updated (13 December) After SA vs IND 2nd T20I | Full ICC Men?s T20I Player Standings" class="wp-image-123643" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Tabraiz Shamsi (Image-Associate Press)</figcaption></figure>



The partnership of 54 runs from 30 balls between Skipper Aiden Markram (30 runs off 17 balls) and opener Reeze Hendricks (49 runs off 27 balls) put the Proteas in a comfortable position. India tried to comeback in the game by picking up 3 wickets in 3 consecutive overs, but Tristan Stubbs (14 runs off 12 balls) and Andile Phehlukwayo (10 runs off 4 balls) kept their cool and ensured that the South Africans ended the 2nd T20i with a win and led the 3-match series 1-0. Tabraiz Shamsi won the man of the match award for his brilliant economical spell of 1/18 in 4 overs.



The 3rd and the Final T20i match between The Men in Blue and The Proteas will take place tomorrow at the DP World Wanderers Stadium of Johannesburg and the match will start at 8:30 PM IST.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">IND vs SA 3rd T20I Overview</h2>



Series / Tour - India?s tour of South Africa 2023-24



Match: India vs South Africa 3rd T20i



Date: Thursday, 14th of December 2023



Venue: DP World Wanderers Stadium, Johannesburg



Time: 8:30 pm IST



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">IND vs SA 2nd T20I Players to Watch Out For</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Rinku Singh</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/12/Rinku-Singh-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-123229" /></figure>



Rinku Singh scored his maiden 50 and the best T20i score of his international career vs. South Africa as he smashed an unbeaten 68 runs off 39 balls in the 2nd T20i. Rinku is usually known for his role as a finisher, but in yesterday?s match vs. South Africa, he showed he is more than just a finisher. He started off his innings with a brilliant straight drive, but he started to build his innings when Suryakumar Yadav took the aggressive route, and after the skipper went back to the pavilion, Rinku went back to his aggressive approach and helped India reach a respectable total of 180 runs before the rain interruption. He is in great form and would like to continue his great form in the 3rd T20i as well. With such performances, Rinku will cement his place in India?s 2024 T20 World Cup squad with ease.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Ruturaj Gaikwad</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/04/gaik-1.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-107657" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">(Photo by Alex Pantling - ECB/ECB via Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



Ruturaj Gaikwad was unable to participate in the previous game owing to illness, and both players,Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal, were dismissed for ducks. Ruturaj scored the most runs in the five-match T20i series vs. the Aussies, and he would be hoping to recover quickly from his illness and reproduce his success in the third and final match of the T20i series against South Africa, helping the Men in Blue even the series. His return to the starting lineup would improve the team's overall performance.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Gerald Coetzee</h3>



Gerald Coetzee was superb with the ball for South Africa in the recently concluded Odi World Cup, picking up 20 wickets from eight matches at an economy rate of 6.23, and he was good with the ball in the previous T20i vs India, as he picked up three wickets and dismissed Tilak Verma, Ravindra Jadeja, and Arshdeep Singh. The 23-year-old would be critical for the South Africans if they were to win the series in the next match.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Shubman Gill</h3>



Shubman Gill, regarded as the Prince of Indian Cricket, returned to the Indian team in yesterday?s match vs South Africa but failed to get going as he got dismissed for a duck and was getting troubled by the fast bowlers of South Africa. He was in decent form in the ODI World Cup and he is also the highest run scorer of the 2023 calendar year, having scored 2118 runs, which includes ten 50s and seven 100s at an average of 102.17. He would like to end the year on a high by performing well in India?s tour of South Africa, and his form would be crucial in India?s hopes of leveling the series 1-1 against South Africa.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Mukesh Kumar</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/01/Mukesh-kumar-1.jpg" alt="IND vs NZ: India can make these 3 Changes for the T20I | Predicting Playing XI for the 2nd T20I | India vs New Zealand" class="wp-image-101717" /></figure>



Mukesh Kumar is a pretty good talent with the ball, and he has performed well in the domestic circuit of Indian cricket. He was selected for the five-match series vs. Australia, and he handled the death bowling duties pretty well. However, against South Africa in the 2nd T20i, even though he managed to pick up 2 wickets by dismissing the set Aiden Markram and the dangerous David Miller, he bowled at an economy rate of 11.3, which is quite high. He would have to bowl economically in the next match as The Men in Blue are relying on him and the experienced Mohammed Siraj to handle the pace bowling department vs. South Africa.

The IND vs ENG series has so far been magnificent to watch as a spectator. The reason behind that has been is both the teams have been brilliant and have played a magnificent brand of cricket. <a href="https://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-team/india/2" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-team/india/2">India</a> is currently leading the series 2-1 and with things have panned out, the last two games are expected to be a cracker.?



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">IND vs ENG: Two changes that India can make for 4th Test against England in Ranchi</h2>



All eyes are now set for the 4th IND vs ENG Test. The match will be played at Jharkhand Cricket Association stadium in Ranchi from 23rd February. It will be a great opportunity for the India team to seal the series in the next game itself.&nbsp;



With IND vs ENG 4th game just a few days ahead, let?s take a look at two changes that India can make for the game against England in Ranchi.&nbsp;



KL Rahul in place of Rajat Patidar?



Amongst all the young players in the team, Rajat Patidar has disappointed a lot in the ongoing IND vs ENG series. He has failed to make a mark in the series and it will be mo surprise if he gets dropped from the next game. KL Rahul is all set to return to the team for the 4th Test and Patidar himself made it easy for team management to drop him. The young batter couldn?t go past 40 runs in all the four innings that he played. Whereas others around him grabbed the opportunities with both hands.?

Mukesh Kumar in place of Jasprit Bumrah?



There have been various reports that have suggested that Jasprit Bumrah will be rested for the 4th IND vs ENG Test. The senior pacer has bowled 80 overs in the three games so far and BCCI is keen to give him rest to manage his workload with all the cricket ahead. He is the leading wicket-taker for India as he has been brilliant with the ball. With him getting rested, it is likely that Mukesh Kumar will replace him in the team. The fast bowler was released from the Indian squad for the third Test to play the Ranji game and he returned with 6 wickets.&nbsp;

CSK is in fantastic form and they are expected to win their sixth title if they consistently continue the same cricket throughout the tournament but they need to win close games as well.



<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-team/ipl-team/delhi-capitals/" rel="nofollow">Delhi Capitals (DC) </a>fought well and gave good competition to the Chennai Super Kings therefore successfully defended the total of 192 runs.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">TATA IPL 2024 DC vs CSK Match Highlights:</h2>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading">DC's robust start while Batting first in Visakhapatnam:</h4>



Delhi Capitals (DC) won the toss and they batted first however, this decision came in their favour as DC Opener David Warner and Prithvi Shaw made a good partnership of 93 runs for the first wicket. Both the batters gave an aggressive start to their team whereas CSK?s bowling unit failed to get early wickets in the match.



David Warner played an impactful inning of 52 runs in 35 balls whereas Prithvi Shaw, who was playing his first game of TATA IPL 2024 scored 43 runs in 27 balls. Shaw started slow in the starting few overs but later he came up with aggressive batting. In the middle overs, CSK took plenty of wickets and started dominating the game.



<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/03/IPL-2024-DC-vs-CSK-Match-Highlights-1024x683.jpg" alt="IPL 2024 DC vs CSK: MS Dhoni Show in Visakhapatnam, CSK lost their first Match of TATA IPL 2024 | DC vs CSK Match Highlights" class="wp-image-128919" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IPL 2204 Delhi Capitals | Image Credit: X.com(@IPL)</figcaption></figure>



But, Delhi Capitals skipper Rishabh Pant played a responsible inning of 51 runs in 32 balls. He knocked 4 fours and 3 sixes at a strike rate of 159.38, this inning by skipper led DC to regain the momentum in the match.&nbsp;



In the death overs, Axar Patel and Abhishek Porel carried on the aggressive batting therefore Delhi made 191 runs on the scoreboard in 20 overs. From Chennai Super Kings bowling department, Matheesha Pathirana bowled an impressive spell as he took three wickets at an economy rate of 7.74. However, Mustafizur Rahman and Ravindra Jadeja took one wicket each.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">MS Dhoni Stormy Inning against DC Pacers:</h3>



Chennai Super Kings (CSK) had a slow and poor start in the second inning as they were able to score only 32 runs with the loss of two wickets in the powerplay. However, Ajinkya Rahane and Daryl Mitchell made a decent partnership of 68 runs for the third wicket but DC was still dominating the game.



Rahane got out by scoring 45 runs in 30 balls whereas Daryl Mitchell scored 34 runs in 26 balls. CSK middle-order batters failed to make partnerships and therefore the run rate kept on increasing which ultimately became unrealistic for CSK at some point in time. But, MS Dhoni came to bat for the first time in the TATA IPL 2024 and he knocked 37 runs in just 16 balls.



However, Dhoni tried his best to finish the game and won the third consecutive match for CSK but lost the match by 20 runs. From the Delhi Capitals bowling department, Mukesh Kumar took three wickets whereas Kahlil Ahmed and Axar Patel got two and one wickets, respectively in this match.

They have their next series against Bangladesh; they will host them for two Tests starting on September 19.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-team/icc-teams/bangladesh/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-team/icc-teams/bangladesh/">IND vs BAN</a>: Three pacers who can replace Jasprit Bumrah in Test series against Bangladesh</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. Khaleel Ahmed</h3>



According to some media reports, <a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-team/icc-teams/india/" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/category/cricket-team/icc-teams/india/">India</a> are trying to pick a left-arm pacer to increase the pool of Indian bowlers for the coming international assignment. That's where Khaleel Ahmed can be an option. The left-arm pacer has a brilliant IPL 2024 for Delhi Capitals.



As a result, he earned his place back in the Indian white-ball squad. He can swing the new ball, which can be very effective in Australian conditions. So, India can try him in place of Jasprit Bumrah in the IND vs BAN Test series.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mukesh_Kumar_(cricketer)" data-type="link" data-id="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mukesh_Kumar_(cricketer)">Mukesh Kumar</a></h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/08/Mukesh-Kumar-IND-vs-BAN-Jasprit-Bumrah.jpg" alt="IND vs BAN: 3 Pacers who can replace Jasprit Bumrah in the Test series against Bangladesh" class="wp-image-145649" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Mukesh Kumar IND vs BAN </figcaption></figure>



Mukesh Kumar has been part of the Indian team for a while now. He has represented India across all three formats. Mukesh has done well whenever he has gotten a chance for India. Mukesh had a pretty IPL for 2024 for DC.



He has been the backup pacer for India, and if Jasprit Bumrah misses out, Mukesh can come in the IND vs BAN series as Mohammed Shami is also not available and India need someone to bowl with Mohammed Siraj.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1. Arshdeep Singh</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/08/Arshdeep-Singh-Jasprit-Bumrah-IND-vs-BAN-1024x576.jpg" alt="IND vs BAN: 3 Pacers who can replace Jasprit Bumrah in the Test series against Bangladesh" class="wp-image-145650" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Arshdeep Singh Jasprit Bumrah IND vs BAN</figcaption></figure>



The left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh is the first choice bowler for India in T20Is. He took most wickets in the T20 World Cup and played a crucial role in India's win. India don't have a left-arm pacer in Tests at the moment.



That's where Arshdeep can come in the team. The left-arm pacer is brilliant, and the new and old balls in his line and length area are pretty good for the test. That's why he can be a good replacement.

IND vs BAN: 3 Pacers who can replace Jasprit Bumrah in the Test series against Bangladesh

The first round of the Duleep Trophy has come to an end, and in the match played at Anantapur, India C secured an early win on Day 3, as it was one of the lowest-scoring games. Today in the other game at the Chinnaswamy stadium, where India A took on India B, the match was won by India B in a commanding fashion by 76 runs. Both these two matches hold immense importance from the point of view of the selectors, as they will look to manage a team for the Bangladesh home series.

 Indian selectors had earlier hinted that it would be at the end of the first round of the Duleep Trophy that they would be announcing a squad against the Bangladesh team, who will visit the Indian subcontinent from the 19th of September. The India B player Musheer Khan played a historic innings as he went past the likes of great Sachin Tendulkar to break the record for most runs on a Duleep Trophy debut. Musheer took his team from a situation of 94/7 to 292/7 before lunch on Day 2, as he himself scored 181 individual runs.

However, he could not follow up that greatly as Musheer was out for a duck in the second inning. However, who has been the best performer in the match for India A remained their pick of the bowlers, Akash Deep, who struck 9 times in the match, as he had 4 wickets in the first innings and responded back with a 5-fer in the second, as they were restricted to 184. They posted a target of 275 in front of the India A batters, as the team?s batting unit collapsed again, with Shubman Gill once again having a disappointing dismissal. Pant and Sarfaraz had contributed to India B?s second innings with quickfire innings, as Pant scored a 61 off just 47 balls.

</div></figure>



 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KL_Rahul">KL Rahul</a> turned the only batter for India B who scored a fifty in either innings combined, as he was dismissed for 57 in the second innings, and India B were all-out for 198. Mukesh Kumar emerged as India B?s best bowler with his 3-fers in either inning. Mukesh and Akash Deep both have ideal chances of making it to Team India, as the men in blue are in search of a fourth-pace bowling option. Both of these players have turned in for the auditions of the game.

The India and Pakistan rivalry has been a great contest on the cricket field, as well as the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, marked by intense competition between the neighbouring nations and passionate fan engagement. It has often been seen that ever since the two teams have stopped playing bilaterals against eachother, these two are featured in every ICC tournament, which draw millions of spectators.  
The rivalry only intensifies, every time the two nations play against eachother, be it the Cricket World Cup or the ICC Champions Trophy. Such has been India’s domination in the ICC events, that they claimed successive wins in both the One-Day as well as the T20 World Cup. However, the Champions Trophy results have been contrasting with Pakistan’s infamous victory in the CT 2017 final against India, as well as their memorable 10-wickets win against India in the T20 World Cup of 2021.    
Clearly, the India vs Pakistan games are celebration of cricket to its peak, where every ball, every run, and every wicket carries the weightage of national pride.
<h2 dir="ltr">Here’s the strongest combined playing XI from the current squads of India and Pakistan for ICC Champions Trophy 2025:</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">1: Rohit Sharma (C)</h3>

<h3 dir="ltr">4: Shreyas Iyer</h3>
Indian middle-order batter <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shreyas_Iyer">Shreyas Iyer </a>has been a consistent player for the men in blue in the ODI format for a long time. Iyer has been a crucial asset to the India middle-order while delivering match-winning performances in the CWC 2023 as well as the Asia Cup. This is the reason he finds himself in place of Indian star wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant.  
As of now, Shreyas Iyer has put on a total of 2,421 runs with an average of 47.47, including 5 centuries and 18 fifties.
<h3 dir="ltr">5: Mohammad Rizwan</h3>

Pandya has been a responsible batsman down the order with an exemplary record against Pakistan. He on several occasions has won matches for India single-handedly, be it with the bat or with the ball. 
As of now, Hardik Pandya has scored 1769 runs and has taken 84 wickets for the Indian side in the 50-over format.
<h3 dir="ltr">7: Shadab Khan</h3>

<h3 dir="ltr">8: Kuldeep Yadav</h3>

Kuldeep Yadav: The wizard for India in the sub-continent (Image Credit: X)

As of now, Shaheen Shah Afridi has picked 119 wickets for the Pakistan Cricket Team with an economy of 5.49.
<h3 dir="ltr">10: Jasprit Bumrah</h3>
India’s most deadliest fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is one of the most feared bowlers in the world currently. Bumrah is an exceptional pacer in all phases of the game, and he can deliver the maximum impact with the new ball as well as in the death overs. Bumrah has not played many ODIs owing to his frequent injuries and still remains doubtful for the Champions Trophy 2025. 
As of now, Jasprit Bumrah has taken a total of 149 wickets with an economy of 4.59 for the Indian side.
<h3 dir="ltr">11: Mohammed Shami</h3>

Delhi Capitals IPL 2025: The Delhi Capitals (DC) find themselves in a fascinating position ahead of the IPL 2025 season. The team is primed for success with a revamped squad and a renewed focus. However, one crucial question looms large: who should lead the team? The experienced KL Rahul, or the dependable all-rounder Axar Patel? Let’s break down the dynamics and possibilities that each captaincy option offers.
<h2>KL Rahul: The Veteran Leader</h2>
KL Rahul comes to Delhi with a rich IPL pedigree. Over the years, he has proven himself as a prolific run-scorer, amassing over 4,600 runs at a phenomenal average of 45-plus. His experience as captain of the Punjab Kings and Lucknow Super Giants has shown his ability to guide a team to playoff stages, which he achieved twice with LSG. Rahul’s batting consistency and calm demeanor make him an attractive choice to lead DC.
However, Rahul’s captaincy style has been criticized for being conservative, particularly regarding his strike rate and decision-making in crunch moments. This could be a concern for a team like the Delhi Capitals, which boasts explosive batting talent and needs a captain capable of effectively utilizing this firepower.
<h2>Axar Patel: The Fresh Perspective</h2>
On the other hand, Axar Patel represents a new-age leader with a wealth of experience in high-pressure situations. Axar has been DC's vice-captain and even stepped in as captain for a game in IPL 2024. His ability to contribute with both bat and ball makes him a key player, and his recent appointment as India’s T20 vice-captain adds to his leadership credentials.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679063ce6ad86.jpg" alt="">
Axar’s performances last season were nothing short of stellar, with 235 runs at a healthy strike rate and 11 wickets at an economy of 7.66. His all-around prowess, coupled with his understanding of the DC squad, makes him a strong contender for the captaincy.
Choosing between Rahul and Axar is essentially a choice between two distinct leadership styles. Rahul brings stability and experience, having captained for multiple IPL seasons. His presence can calm nerves during tense moments, which is invaluable for a team aiming for the playoffs. Axar, however, offers a dynamic and aggressive approach, potentially aligning better with DC’s young and energetic squad.
<h2>Delhi Capitals, the Squad</h2>
Delhi’s 2025 squad is packed with talent across the board. In the batting department, players like Harry Brook, Tristan Stubbs, and Jake Fraser-McGurk add explosive options, while KL Rahul himself remains a cornerstone at number three. The pace unit, led by Mitchell Starc and supported by T Natarajan and Mukesh Kumar, is formidable. However, the reliance on Axar and Kuldeep Yadav in the spin department highlights a potential area of concern.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679063cab56d5.jpg" alt="">
Delhi Capitals Squad: Harry Brook, Jake Fraser-McGurk, KL Rahul, Mitchell Starc, T Natarajan, Ashutosh Sharma, Mohit Sharma, Sameer Rizvi, Karun Nair, Faf du Plessis, Mukesh Kumar, Darshan Nalkande, Dushmantha Chameera, Vipraj Nigam, Ajay Mandal, Manwanth Kumar, Trupurana Vijay, Madhav Tiwari. DC retentions: Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Tristan Stubbs, Abishek Porel.
<h2>The Strategic Impact of Captaincy</h2>
Under Rahul, DC might adopt a more methodical approach, relying on his ability to anchor innings and guide young players like Abishek Porel and Fraser-McGurk. Axar’s leadership could inject a more fearless and intuitive style, encouraging aggressive cricket and leveraging DC’s bench strength, including veterans like Faf du Plessis.
One key consideration is how the captaincy might affect their individual performances. While Rahul’s form as an opener has been a consistent asset, Axar’s ability to contribute with both bat and ball is crucial to DC’s balance. Assigning the captaincy to Axar could be a gamble, but it might pay off if it inspires the team to rally around a fresh vision.
Ultimately, the choice of captain will reflect DC’s strategic priorities. If the franchise prioritizes experience and a steady hand, KL Rahul is the natural choice. However, if they aim for a bold and innovative approach, Axar Patel might be the leader to take them to new heights.
Either way, the Delhi Capitals possess the ingredients for a successful campaign, and the captaincy debate only adds to the intrigue surrounding their 2025 IPL journey. They are one of the strong contenders for the trophy this year.

KL Rahul or Axar Patel, who could be the Next Leader of Capitals?

Delhi Capitals faces a tough captaincy choice for IPL 2025: experienced KL Rahul or dynamic Axar Patel. Both offer distinct leadership styles, which will shape DC's approach with their star-studded squad and bold ambitions.

Delhi Capitals must choose between KL Rahul’s steady leadership or Axar Patel’s dynamic approach to maximize their IPL 2025 potential.

Can Delhi Capitals win IPL 2025? KL Rahul or Axar Patel, who could be the Next Leader of Capitals?
