Delhi Capitals have named David Warner as the team’s captain for IPL’s 2023 edition as regular skipper Rishabh Pant remains out of action after a major car accident last year. Under David Warner’s captaincy, Sunrisers Hyderabad was able to lift the IPL trophy back in 2016. Delhi Capitals, who are yet to get their hands on the coveted trophy, will be hoping to stage a historic upset under his leadership. A member of the ownership group of Delhi Capitals was quoted by the media as saying that Warner will be leading the Delhi Capitals team in IPL 2023, while Axar Patel will serve as his deputy. Although Axar has remained a crucial player of the team, Warner’s experience and track record are what make him unique and favourite as the team’s captain.
Rishabh Pant has been ruled out of the IPL 2023, and as per a statement given by cricketer Shikhar Dhawan, the Indian skipper will take at least 7 to 8 months to get fully recovered. Apart from IPL 2023, Pant is also expected to miss ODI World Cup this year.
