As the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) season approaches, attention shifts to two iconic figures: MS Dhoni and Axar Patel. Former Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni, revered in India, will continue playing at 43, while Harbhajan Singh hails him as the 'best-ever captain.' Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals have appointed Axar Patel as their new captain, succeeding Rishabh Pant who moved to Lucknow Super Giants. Axar, a long-standing player for DC since 2019, has been acknowledged for his leadership potential and recent performances, including his role in India's Champions Trophy win. The Capitals are eager for a successful season under Axar's leadership, with a strong squad assembled post the mega auction.
