The third name in the race to become the next captain of Delhi is Axar Patel. Patel has been with the team for a long time. This year the team also retained him. Rahul and Faf do not have a record of making the team victorious. In such a situation, if Delhi wants to go with a new name and a new thinking, then Axar can prove to be a better option for captaincy.

Another big name in this race is South Africa's Faf du Plessis, who will play in Delhi this year. He was a part of Chennai Super Kings and then Royal Challengers Bangalore for a long time. Faf also has captaincy experience. He has captained South Africa. He was the captain of RCB for the last three years. Under his captaincy, RCB did not win the title but was definitely successful in making it to the playoffs. Faf is a foreigner, this thing can go against him because only four foreign players can play in the team at a time.
