IPL 2025: Delhi Capitals’ (DC) predicted playing 11 and full squad

New year, new setup for Delhi Capitals, who would be looking to break their Indian Premier League drought in 2025. While they are yet to name their captain, it is confirmed that 32-year-old KL Rahul will likely be their skipper this year.

Three players who can be Delhi Capitals' new captain in IPL 2025

Delhi Capitals have also added experienced names such as Faf du Plessis, Mitchell Starc, and T Natarajan while ensuring that young blood like Jake Fraser-McGurk, Harry Brook, and Sameer Rizvi is picked. 

However, their spin department is still hinging on the success of Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel, with few valuable additions in this year’s mega auction. Mukesh Kumar and Mohit Sharma have pacers who can bowl across phases, providing them with an edge. 

The IPL 2025 will likely start on March 14 and end in May 2025. The tournament's schedule hasn’t yet been announced.
