Rishabh Pant will miss this year's Indian Premier League to continue his recovery from a car crash, with David Warner replacing him as Delhi Capitals skipper, the franchise said on Thursday.
NEW DELHI : Australia's David Warner will captain Delhi Capitals in this year's Indian Premier League (IPL) as Rishabh Pant continues his recovery from a car accident, the team said on Thursday.
Mar 16 Veteran Australia batter David Warner was on Thursday named as captain of Delhi Capitals for the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) season in the absence of Rishabh Pant, who is currently undergoing rehabilitation after a car crash. India all-rounder Axar Patel will be the vice-captain of the Delhi team, a role he performed last year also. IPL 2023 begins on March 31. DC also announced former India captain and Ex BCCI chief Sourav Ganguly as the franchise's Director of Cricket. Ganguly has been associated with Delhi Capitals in the past too, in the role of mentor, during the 2019 season.
Australian opener David Warner will be leading Delhi Capitals in the 2023 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) in absence of an injured Rishabh Pant, reported ESPNCricinfo on Thursday. Head coach Ricky Ponting and the team management have reached an agreement that the Aussie star is the best man to lead the side on an interim basis as Pant gradually recovers after surviving a horrific car crash in December. With Pant ruled out for the entirety of 2023, the Capitals had to look out for an interim skipper and Warner was a standout along with Axar Patel, who was the vice-captain in 2022.
Former Australian skipper Ricky Ponting on Tuesday revealed how "little technical changes" made while playing for Delhi Capitals helped Axar Patel develop into an effective batter for India. Ponting is hoping to "get a bit more out of him" when he turns up for Delhi Capitals in this IPL. Axar (264 runs) has impressed during the Border-Gavaskar Test series against Australia, slamming three half-centuries to emerge as the second highest scorer for India behind Virat Kohli (297 runs) from five innings. "I've known Axar for a long time and he was only a young boy in the squad at Mumbai when I first went there," Ponting told the ICC Review.
Just a couple of days after the conclusion of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Ravichandran Ashwin became a busy man again as he shared an insane tale of trolling from the series. Other than being India's chief orchestrator on the field, Ashwin also made a few videos during the Test series against Australia, one of which came after the second Test in New Delhi. As Ashwin explained 'how to play spin in India', the hosts lost the following match in Indore, with Steve Smith's men securing a 9-wicket win.
NEW DELHI : International Boxing Association (IBA) promised transparency and fairness at the women's world championship in New Delhi which kicked off with a bumper $2.4 million prize money on Wednesday.
