At the Abadi Al Johar Arena in Jeddah Delhi Capitals were looking for a skipper as they had parted ways with wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant. However, after the event DC co-owner Parth Jindal has confirmed that the management will be going forward with dual captaincy.
The franchise acquired KL Rahul for INR 14 crore and it was considered that they must have locked a potential skipper in that bid. However speaking to the press after the proceedings in Jeddah, Jindal revealed that both Rahul and Axar will lead the team next season.
