Earlier, Delhi based franchise named David Warner as their skipper for the upcoming season since the regular captain Rishabh Pant is still recuperating from the multiple injuries he sustained during a car accident in December last year.
“We are gonna take a nice, slow, steady, relaxed approach. Let’s have a lot of fun, let’s enjoy ourselves because this group of players, although all the players aren’t here right now, this group of players and this group of support staff, in 8,9,10 weeks, we mught not get to do this again together,” he said.
“And I’ll want to enjoy every single moment and opportunity I can with this group of players, to try and bring the ultimate success to you as an individual, and ultimate success to this franchise.
Alongside Warner, former India legend Sourav Ganguly also returned to the squad as the Director of cricket.
“This franchise over the last five years has won more games of cricket than any other team in the IPL.
“This is your team, we’re all here together. This is our team, we’re as one we are like one big family. And in everything we do, we treat each other with respect and care like we treat our family members.
“We are going to find a way to be better than any other team in the tournament. If we are really close and tight for the next 8 or 9 weeks, we’re gonna win a lot more games than we lose.
“Make sure when you leave, you’ve got everything, ticked every box that you need to.”
Delhi Capitals will kickstart their IPL 2023 campaign by playing against Lucknow Super Giants on April 1.
