Indian Premier League: Veteran batter Faf du Plessis has been appointed as the vice-captain of Delhi Capitals for the upcoming 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) season. The franchise shared the news through its social media accounts on Monday.

“You mean right now? I'm at home, where else would I be? Yes, that's true, I'm vice captain of DC and I'm very excited. Delhi's been great, the boys have been fantastic, definitely feel happy and I feel ready,” said du Plessis in a video posted by the franchise on its social media accounts.

The Delhi-based franchise acquired du Plessis at the base price of Rs 2 crore in last year's mega auction in Jeddah. He was released by his previous franchise - Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) - ahead of the auction.
