Delhi Capitals team management is yet to decide on who will captain the team in UAE: Reports
Speaking to ANI, a DC official has revealed that the team management is yet to finalize their decision on the captaincy. Regular skipper Shreyas Iyer missed the first half of IPL 2021 in March due to an injury issue.
In his absence, Rishabh Pant led the side impressively to put them in pole position in the points table with 12 points from eight matches. But now Iyer is back in the team after completely recovering from injury. So there is a dilemma on who will lead Delhi Capitals in the UAE leg of the IPL.
On this matter, the DC official said:
"Shreyas Iyer is already in UAE with a fitness coach and the rest of the players from India, South Africa and England will join the team after their international assignments are over. The captain issue is still undecided, either it will be Pant or Iyer, the team management has not yet decided on this."
