In the last season, Delhi Capitals ranked fifth in the points table with seven wins and as many losses, accumulating a total of 14 points. They narrowly missed qualifying for the playoffs. The team recently appointed David Warner as captain for the upcoming season, replacing Rishabh Pant, who is currently in rehab and recovery. All-rounder Axar Patel was named vice-captain, and former India captain Sourav Ganguly was appointed as the franchise’s Director of Cricket. Ganguly has previously served as a mentor for the team during the 2019 season.
This will mark Warner’s second stint as the Capitals’ captain, having previously led the team in a few matches between 2009 and 2013. He later joined Sunrisers Hyderabad in 2014 and captained the team to their maiden title in 2016.
With 35 wins out of 69 matches as captain, Warner is tied for the fifth-most successful skipper, having lost 32 and tied two matches.
