Recently, a mega auction was organized for two days in Saudi Arabia for the 18th edition of the world’s biggest cricket league IPL. This time’s mega auction has turned out to be the most expensive auction in IPL history.
This time many big players were included in the mega auction, one of them KL Rahul has been bought by the Delhi Capitals team for Rs 14 crore. But is he becoming the captain of the team…. In his place there is another player in the Delhi team who can take over the responsibility of captaincy and Delhi has bought him in the auction for just two crores….
Who will become the captain of Delhi Capitals?
The 18th edition of IPL will be held in the year 2025 in which many teams will have to play with a new captain. For this, the teams have also spent a lot of money in the mega auction. If we talk about big names, then Delhi Capitals has included KL Rahul in its team this time. But is the management ready to hand over the captaincy to him or not… the team also has another captaincy option in the form of Faf du Plessis.
Can Plessis become the captain of Delhi?
Faf du Plessis was bought by the Delhi Capitals team in the mega auction for just Rs 2 crore, which was his base price. RCB had decided to release 40-year-old Plessis this year, due to which he had to enter the mega auction. Considering his age, no team seemed interested in him, taking advantage of this, Delhi bought him for Rs 2 crore. It is possible that Plessis may be seen captaining in the upcoming IPL.
The battle for captaincy between two players
Talking about the captaincy of Delhi Capitals, there can be a battle between only two players for this, KL Rahul and Faf du Plessis. Both the players have a lot of experience of captaincy in IPL. In the last season, Rahul was seen captaining Lucknow while Plessis was seen captaining RCB. However, the record of both of them in captaincy has not been very good and they have not been able to win the title even once under their captaincy. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see to whom the Delhi management will hand over this responsibility.
