Dehli Capitals squad for IPL 2025 will be strong as they are looking to return strongly and aim for the IPL 2025 title after a bad performance in IPL 2024. DC had a disastrous performance recently in the last season of the IPL 2024. They had won only 7 matches out of 14, and the ranking was terrible on the IPL points table.
In the last season of IPL 2024, Dehli Capitals unfortunately missed the great services of their regular captain Rishabh Pant. The star Indian cricketer has been performing as a captain and wicket-keeper batter for a few years. Before the IPL 2024, he was injured in an accident and recovered, and his performance was not good as a team leader. Let’s talk about the previous edition; the key players like Anrich Nortje are performing very badly, with just 7 wickets picked in 6 matches. David Warner was also disappointed as he scored 168 runs in 8 games with an average run of 21.
DC Player List IPL 2025 Overview
The Dehli Capitals will continue with Rishabh Pant as captain again for the upcoming IPL 2025. DC has already spent ₹47 crore for their retained players which they have maintained Axar Patel for ₹16.5 crore, Kuldeep Yadav for ₹13.25 crore, Tristan Stubbs for ₹10 crore, and Abishek Porel for ₹4 crore as a base price and more budget for different retained players. DC management picked batter Harry Brook for ₹6.25 crore and Mitchell Starc for ₹11.75 crore in the recent IPL Auction 2025. DC now has a remaining purse of ₹9.90 crore to get more locals or overseas players to strengthen their squad for IPL 2025.
