England’s tour of India is over and the players are gearing up for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021. The Indian players who participated in the series and the England players who are in different teams for the IPL have joined their respective teams. Rohit Sharma has also joined the Mumbai Indians. Most of the Delhi Capitals players have also been quarantined.
Since Shreyas Iyer’s exit from IPL 2021, the Delhi team has yet to announce its captain. Rishabh Pant, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ajinkya Rahane, Steve Smith, and Shikhar Dhawan are currently vying for the captaincy.
Meanwhile, former Indian Test opener and critic Akash Chopra has demanded that Rishabh Pant be handed over the captaincy of Delhi Capital. From the way Rishabh is playing now, he feels that he can definitely take the Delhi team to the final.
Akash Chopra was asked by a fan, “Do you think Ravichandran Ashwin is a good option as the captain of Delhi Capital?” Because he captained Kings XI Punjab in one season, but will he be able to play all the matches this season? ”
On this, Akash Chopra said, “He is also an option. Also in the absence of Shreyas Iyer is Rishabh Pant, is Shikhar Dhawan, is Ajinkya Rahane, is also Steve Smith. There are so many options. But in this, I want to go in the direction of Pant. Because if you look, Ashwin was in a bit of a predicament last season. He had lost a few matches, so let’s go with what will be available on the team throughout the season. The second is Rishabh Pant who is playing cleverly. Also, given the form he is in, Delhi can be lucky for the team. ”
He also said, “I think sometimes the planets revolve. So maybe by becoming a captain and doing well, Delhi Capital will not only reach the final but also win it. In Ashwin and Pant, I will choose Pant. Because before Ashwin, I will go to Shikhar Dhawan. Because he is also a senior player of the team. ”
