Axar Patel is making history as the captain of the Delhi Capitals. He’s the first captain to lead the team to four straight wins at the start of a season. This feat surpasses Virender Sehwag’s record, who led Delhi to three consecutive wins in 2009.
Patel took over as captain from Rishabh Pant, who now plays for Lucknow Super Giants. Under Patel’s leadership, Delhi has beaten Lucknow, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Chennai Super Kings, and Royal Challengers Bangalore. The team’s winning streak has put them in second place on the points table, tied with Gujarat but behind in net run rate.
It’s worth noting that Patel wasn’t always the top choice for captain. There were rumors of a rivalry with KL Rahul for the position. However, Rahul reportedly turned down the offer, paving the way for Patel to take the reins.
Delhi’s current undefeated streak is a significant achievement in the IPL 2025 season. As the team continues to perform well, they’re proving themselves to be a force to be reckoned with. Patel’s leadership has been a key factor in their success, and fans are eager to see how the rest of the season plays out.
The team’s next match will be crucial in determining their position on the points table. With Gujarat currently in the top spot, Delhi will need to keep their winning streak alive to take the lead. One thing is certain – Axar Patel is making a name for himself as a talented captain, and his team is reaping the benefits.
