Delhi Capitals (DC) shocked the cricket fans worldwide by releasing their start wicket-keeper batter and captain Rishabh Pant ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction. They have retained Axar Patel (INR 16.50 Crore), Kuldeep Yadav (INR 13.25 Crore), Tristan Stubbs (INR 10 Crore), and Abishek Porel (INR 4 crores), to keep a purse of INR 73 Crore for the upcoming auction. However, with Rishabh Pant leaving the team, the massive question on everyone's lips is about who will be leading DC in the IPL 2025 season.
In this article, SportsTiger has listed three potential players who can lead DC in the IPL 2025.
Shreyas Iyer
Shreyas Iyer, who got released by KKR, could be a potential purchase for DC in the IPL 2025 mega auction, to captain the franchise into the future. Iyer had previously led Delhi Capitals to the final of the IPL in 2020, and he had a successful season with 519 runs. Moreover, Iyer added to his captaincy credentials in the last IPL after leading Kolkata Knight Riders to a title win. His impressive batting skills and leadership acumen could led to the DC management signing him once again in the upcoming auction.
