IPL 2024: In Rishabh Pant’s Absence, Axar Patel To Lead DC In Important Clash Against RCB
In Rishabh Pant: In the absence of designated skipper Rishabh Pant who is suspended for a match for maintaining a slow-over rate, Delhi Capitals' head coach Ricky Ponting said left-arm spin all-rounder Axar Patel will be leading the side in their important Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 clash with Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium here on Sunday.
"Axar Patel will be our captain tomorrow. He's obviously been vice-captain of this franchise now for the last couple of seasons. Obviously, very experienced IPL player, an experienced international player, a very sensible guy, understands the game really well. He's really excited, to be honest,” said Ponting in the pre-match press conference on Saturday.
Pant will miss DC’s crucial clash against RCB after being handed a one-match suspension for his side’s third slow over-rate offence in the tournament, recorded during their 21-run win over Rajasthan Royals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on May 7.
