WPL 2026: Jemimah Will Take Opportunity Of Leading DC With Both Hands, Says Marizanne Kapp
South Africans Laura Wolvaardt: Veteran South African seam-bowling all-rounder Marizanne Kapp has thrown her full support behind the appointment of Jemimah Rodrigues as Delhi Capitals (DC) skipper for WPL 2026, adding that she had long identified the Indian batter as captaincy material.
With Meg Lanning, who led DC in the first three seasons, moving to become UP Warriorz skipper, Jemimah will take over as the side’s captain for the new season starting on January 9. "I'm not going to lie. Losing Meg as a captain is obviously a big thing. She's a very successful captain, not only for DC but in world cricket in general.
“But in saying that, I mentioned a couple of years ago, when they asked me who should be India's next captain, I actually said Jemimah. I feel like she's one of those players who can bring a team together, just with her personality and a caring factor due to the way she is. I feel like she's always been a leader,” Marizanne told reporters in a select virtual roundtable on Monday.
