Delhi Capitals Squad Updates for IPL 2025
Alright folks, let’s talk team changes. The biggest shock? Rishabh Pant’s exit. Yeah, it stung a bit, but don’t panic! Axar Patel has stepped up as captain, and honestly, he’s been our Mr. Reliable for years. I’d say we’re in safe hands.
Now here’s the exciting part – KL Rahul has joined DC for ₹14 crore. Imagine Rahul smashing those big shots in our blue jersey – love it already! And guess what? We’ve also signed Mitchell Starc for ₹11.75 crore. If you saw Starc’s fiery spells last season for KKR, you know he’s no joke.
Our squad’s looking solid with old gems like Kuldeep Yadav sticking around. Plus, Abhishek Porel and Tristan Stubbs are still with us. Oh, and Jake Fraser-McGurk is back too – that guy’s batting is pure fireworks! So yeah, DC fans, there’s plenty to be excited about this season.
