R Ashwin warns Delhi Capitals about Rishabh Pant's captaincy role
Summary

Ravichandran Ashwin has cautioned the Delhi Capitals against burdening Rishabh Pant with the captaincy amid trade discussions involving their skipper, Axar Patel. Reports indicate that the franchise may be negotiating a trade with Chennai Super Kings, which could impact their leadership structure. While Pant has returned to the team after two years, Ashwin believes KL Rahul would be a better choice to lead the side if Patel is traded. The speculation intensified with a social media post from CSK featuring Patel and their captain, further fueling trade rumors.
