Replacement for Rishabh Pant as Delhi Capitals captain:
David Warner
David Warner announced his retirement from Test cricket. Warner has won one IPL title as captain and is the fifth most-capped player in the competition. In 16 games as the Delhi Capitals’ captain, he has only won five of them.
Axar Patel
Axar Patel is the only Indian player after Rishabh Pant to lead the side. Some believed that Axar might be chosen to lead them after Pant was disqualified the previous year. Warner, though, piped him. In IPL 2023, he scored 283 runs and picked up 11 wickets.

Although some may disagree with this selection, Marsh has emerged as one of the top white-ball hitters in recent memory.

It won’t be a bad move for him to lead the team because he is a lock to start in the starting lineup.
