Star India cricketer Rishabh Pant was involved in a devastating car accident on December 30 (Friday) morning.
If Pant fails to recover from his injuries before IPL 2023, then Delhi Capitals would need to find a new captain.
Let's take a look at the three potential captaincy candidates for Delhi Capitals in Pant's absence.
David Warner would be the front-runner to lead Delhi Capitals in IPL 2023 in Pant's absence.
It was in 2021 when Warner last captained in IPL. He was stripped of the captaincy by Sunrisers Hyderabad mid-way through IPL 2021 season.
Axar Patel, who has been associated with the franchise for a longtime now, can also be asked to lead the side.
Prithvi Shaw, who captained India in the U-19 World Cup, will also be in the mix for the captaincy role.
It would be interesting to see Delhi Capitals' decision when it comes to appointing a new leader.
