Generally, the skipper is the best performer from the team or someone who has experience of handling players and adopting various strategies. Karun Nair is actually one of the poorest performers in this year’s IPL. He averages 12.70 in this season and has only one score of 30 plus.

Nair also doesn’t have any prior experience of leading a T20 side and hence Delhi’s decision to appoint him as the captain was surprising.

With such poor batting form, Delhi should have in fact dropped Nair to accommodate another batsman. Giving Nair the captaincy was one of the biggest mistakes committed by Delhi today.
