DC are also expected to enter the new season with significant changes beyond their player group.

Rishabh Pant, who developed into a major star during his earlier stint with the franchise and eventually became captain, has returned after his spell with the Lucknow Super Giants.

The franchise has also put together a revamped coaching structure. Sourav Ganguly is leading the setup, with former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh and Sri Lanka legend Chaminda Vaas among the names involved.

With the mini-auction expected in December, Delhi's squad decisions and potential trade activity will remain under the spotlight.

For now, Parth Jindal's message has given Axar Patel's fans a reason to believe he will continue in the red and blue.
