Delhi Capitals will begin their quest for a maiden title when they take on Lucknow Super Giants in Lucknow on April 1. The side will be led by India’s T20 vice-captain Axar Patel.

In his second year in the role, Axar has the full backing of the team’s management, including head coach Hemang Badani and Director of Cricket Venugopal Rao. Despite coming close in previous seasons, DC, the nearly-there team of the IPL, have failed to cross the line.
