According to reports made by the Times of India, Indian star wicket-keeper, Rishabh Pant will not lead the Delhi Capitals in IPL 2025, and they have conveyed their source to be reliable. The latest reports from the TOI have also mentioned that the new coaching staff on the Delhi Capitals side are considering a new player in the role of a captain. Rishabh Pant might be replaced by the likes of teammate <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axar_Patel">Axar Patel</a>, as he is being considered as the next Capitals skipper. Not only Axar, but the Delhi Capitals would also be in quest of a new player who can be a reliable captaincy source in the IPL. The auction is supposed to take place at the end of November, in a possible venue like Dubai.

 However, Rishabh Pant is all set to be the franchise's top priority player in their retention list, with the highest slab of retention amount. It is just that the Delhi Capitals leadership group feel that he is much better without the pressure of captaincy. Hence, the new DC management looks to try him over completely as a batter. Though the Delhi Capitals have been a very convincing side, they last reached the playoffs back in IPL 2021 while the finals of 2020 was their best-ever finish where Shreyas Iyer was the skipper of the Delhi Capitals side. Back then Rishabh Pant was their second-highest scorer in the IPL for the Capitals alongside Shikhar Dhawan. After having led the Delhi Capitals initially, he missed the 2023 edition of the IPL and returned to the tournament after a horrific accident in 2022. Pant led the Delhi Capitals in the last season when they finished in the sixth position.

 There also is a possible option if Kolkata Knight Riders are ready to part ways with their IPL title-winning skipper back in 2024. Shreyas Iyer might be returning to the Capitals squad and leading them in the role of a skipper. The Delhi Capitals have recently named Hamang Badani as their head coach and hence there might be significant changes brought to the Capitals squad. Rightly, Indian World Cup winner, Munaf Patel might be considered for the role of bowling coach as a support staff in the Mumbai Indians camp.
