Delhi Capitals have given fans a glimpse behind the scenes with their latest social media post featuring Axar Patel, affectionately known as ‘Bapu’ among teammates, sharing tips with fellow players in a light-hearted locker room interaction.
The clip shows the all-rounder in a jovial mood, dispensing cricket advice to his fellow players. The post is aptly captioned “Captain Bapu ke paas sabke liye tips hain 😂💙” (Captain Bapu has tips for everyone), highlighting his leadership role within the team despite not being the official captain.
The video reveals Axar’s natural leadership qualities and the respect he commands in the dressing room. His teammates are seen listening attentively as he shares his cricket wisdom, all while maintaining the light-hearted atmosphere that seems characteristic of the Delhi Capitals setup this season.
This post is part of Delhi Capitals’ #BeyondTheRoar series, which aims to showcase the team’s off-field dynamics and personal moments that fans don’t typically see during matches. The video highlights the strong team bonding within the Delhi Capitals camp, with Axar emerging as one of the senior voices guiding the younger players.
The timing of this post is significant as it comes after Delhi Capitals secured a crucial victory against Lucknow Super Giants, helping them maintain their playoff hopes in the current IPL season. The win in Lucknow seems to have boosted team morale, as evident from their recent social media activity.
Axar Patel has been a crucial component for Delhi Capitals this season, contributing with both bat and ball. His all-round performances have made him one of the most valuable players in the squad. The nickname ‘Bapu’ (father), given to him by teammates, reflects the respect and admiration they have for his experience and cricket acumen.
Delhi Capitals, formerly known as Delhi Daredevils until their rebranding in December 2018, have been seeking their first IPL title since the tournament’s inception in 2008. With Rishabh Pant as captain and Ricky Ponting as head coach, the team has been working to improve their standing in this year’s competition.
The franchise, owned by the GMR Group and JSW Group, plays its home matches at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Despite never winning the IPL, they reached the finals in 2020, showing their potential to go all the way.
As the IPL 2024 season progresses, Delhi Capitals will be relying on experienced players like Axar Patel to guide the team through crucial matches. The behind-the-scenes content shared by the team provides fans with a deeper connection to the players and insight into the team dynamics that contribute to their on-field performances.
With the playoff race heating up, Delhi Capitals’ mix of experienced leaders like ‘Captain Bapu’ Axar Patel and young talent could prove to be the winning formula they’ve been searching for since their IPL journey began.
