The Delhi Capitals are a well-settled team. In the recent mini-auction, they added some tremendous players as well. The names are:
- Auqib Dar: INR 8.4 Crore
- Pathum Nissanka: INR 4 Crore
- David Miller: INR 2 Crore
- Ben Duckett: INR 2 Crore
- Lungi Ngidi: INR 2 Crore
- Kyle Jamieson: INR 2 Crore
- Prithvi Shaw: INR 75 Lakh
- Sahil Parakh: INR 30 Lakh
They bought some players at very surprising prices, like David Miller and Ben Duckett. Delhi Capitals got them at their base price only.
Who will lead the team?
After all this, the question remains the same: who will be the captain of DC in the upcoming IPL season? At the time when they included KL Rahul in their team, the management wanted KL to lead, but he did not want to take the role. That is why Axar Patel was the captain of DC last year.
This year, the discussion is still going on about whether KL will lead the team or not. Axar Patel is also appointed as the vice-captain in the upcoming T20 World Cup, so he also has great potential to lead. It will be interesting to see who leads DC in the upcoming tournament.

Recent Performance and Form
In the last season, Delhi Capitals’ performance was not too good; they were not even in the top 4 teams. Even with a solid squad, they haven’t performed well.
On one side, KL Rahul played some good knocks in the last IPL season, scoring over 500 runs. On the other side, Axar is not in great form. This is one of the solid reasons behind the management’s confusion. However, if we talk about captaincy experience, then KL Rahul is definitely a better option, as he comes with decent experience leading a team.
