India veteran Karun Nair, South Africa star Tristan Stubbs, and young India wicketkeeper-batsman Abishek Porel shared their honest views on Axar Patel and were hopeful of Delhi Capitals (DC) having a great campaign in IPL 2025.
Following the exit of Rishabh Pant from the Delhi Capitals (DC), the franchise was in need of a new face to lead the team in the Indian Premier League (IPL).
Also, KL Rahul was acquired by Delhi Capitals at the mega auction, and he, too, was in the race for captaincy, considering the leadership experience he brought to the table.
He's one of the best players around at the moment - Tristan Stubbs
Meanwhile, Proteas sensation Tristan Stubbs, who was retained by DC, said that Axar is one of the best players in the world and has shown his capability as a leader in the previous season.
"He captained the game last year [against RCB when Pant was suspended for a slow over rate], and he was really calm out in the middle, made the bowlers feel really calm. So hopefully he can do that this year, and we can feed off his energy."
It'll be good for us too that he'll be there as a big brother - Abishek Porel
Talking about his skipper, the youngster Abishek Porel said that Axar has been a DC-guy for a very long time and he will be a big brother figure in the dressing room.
"It'll be good for us too that he'll be there as a big brother. He's quite funny off the field, but at the same time, just as focused on it. So I'm really excited to play under his captaincy, and hopefully, we'll win the trophy."
"Axar has been around for a long time now, and he is going to be a great captain. He is someone who knows all the facets of the game, and understands everyone's situation and roles. He will be versatile like he is always. [I'm] looking forward to meet him, and know a lot of things."
