Breaking News: Delhi Capitals (DC) announce their captain for the IPL 2024

Delhi Capitals (DC) finished at ninth position in the IPL 2023.

On Tuesday, 19th March, 2024, Delhi Capitals (DC) announced their captain for upcoming season of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2024).

Following return of Rishabh Pant, the franchises has handed over captaincy back to the wicket-keeper batter. During his absence in IPL 2023, opener David Warner captained the side.

The wicket-keeper batter is making a return to professional cricket after 14 months, and has been a part of the Delhi Capitals pre-season preparatory camp in Vizag. The DC captain was away from cricketing action following his near-fatal car accident in December 2022.

Speaking on the occasion, DC Chairman and co-owner Parth Jindal said, “We are delighted to welcome Rishabh back as our Captain. Grit and fearlessness have always dictated his brand of cricket, and not surprisingly, even his road to recovery. I can’t wait to see him walk our team out once again as we look forward to a new season with renewed passion, vigour and enthusiasm.”

Team co-owner Kiran Kumar Grandhi said, “Rishabh has worked incredibly hard during one of the most challenging phases of his life. I have no doubt his teammates will take immense inspiration from that as they embark upon a new season. Captain Rishabh and the team has our best wishes.”

The Delhi Capitals will be up against Punjab Kings in their first match of IPL 2024 in Chandigarh on 23 March.
