A marquee figure in the Delhi Capitals franchise, Axar Patel will be donning the vice-captaincy hat in the upcoming season and the all-rounder is all excited about his new role in the team.
With regular skipper Rishabht Pant out for the entire season, Australian David Warner was announced the captain of the side and Axar was assigned as his deputy.
The 29-year-old, who has been exceptional in the shortest format in the last couple of years said that responsibility entrusted upon him is the reward for all the hard work he has put over last few seasons.
“In my opinion, if you have gotten this role that means you are growing as a senior player. It’s like getting a reward for all that you’ve done for the team. I’m excited about this role,” the lanky all-rounder said in a video posted on DC’s twitter handle.
“Our team is mostly the same, we have the same players from the last 3-4 years. We know our players well and that will be an important point.”
