At Delhi Capitals, Steve Smith will play under the leadership of Rishabh Pant, who was named captain after regular skipper Shreyas Iyer was ruled out due to a shoulder injury which he picked up during the ODI series against England.
Delhi Capitals will start their IPL 14 campaign against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on 10th April.
