The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 mega auction in Jeddah was a great success, with teams methodically building their squads through bidding battles and flashing of enormous sums of money. The Delhi Capitals (DC) are one of the teams that has drawn notice, especially for their potent bowling lineup, which analyst Aakash Chopra has praised.
Teams have always sought to assemble the finest bowling lineup possible in the past IPL seasons, since it can be the difference between early elimination and title contention. By setting up what might be the tournament’s most deadly bowling unit, DC appeared to have figured out this secret.
“This tournament’s greatest bowling has most likely been assembled by them. Gujarat’s bowling will impress you. Mumbai boasts one of the best bowling assaults if you exclude one spinner. He posted on his YouTube channel, “So let’s just agree that they (DC) have the best death-bowling attack.”
For over 15 to 20, no one has better bowlers: Aakash Chopra
Delhi’s ability to toss death bowls is one of its bowling strengths. In the vital last overs, T Natarajan and Mukesh Kumar might be able to make a difference. Given that Natarajan has some of the finest figures among Indian bowlers, Chopra also praised his consistency. However, Mukesh has developed into a dependable death-bowling expert for the team.
“After 15 to 20, no one has superior bowlers. T Natarajan is really talented, and his performance from the previous season was also good, if you look at his numbers and compare them to those of every other Indian player. Mukesh Kumar’s reputation has significantly increased. He has performed admirably when death bowling for this team,” he continued.
Possibly the most talked-about addition to their bowling arsenal is the acquisition of Mitchell Starc. Chopra claims that Starc joined the team after accepting a hefty wage reduction. He is not just a great deal at INR 11.75 crore, but he also greatly strengthens DC’s fast bowling unit. Mohit Sharma is also employed by the side.
Mitchell Starc was purchased by them, and it turns out to be a great deal. He has reduced his salary by fifty percent. This time, he had to attend the major auction. Your price is cut in half as soon as you enter the major auction. He was forced to accept a compensation reduction, but Mitchell Starc was hired instead. “They have Mohit Sharma as well,” Chopra added.
With Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav creating a lethal tandem that may inflict serious damage in the middle overs, the spin department is similarly potent. In the IPL, these two spinners have contributed a caliber of play that is uncommon. Their ability to maintain control of the game could be vital on the short, level field at Arun Jaitley Stadium.
Delhi’s spin bowling is the strongest in this league, and surprisingly, they have Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav, so they didn’t need the auction to do it. Both of them were kept since no team has eight overs with this kind of spin. They were asked to stay and given a large sum of money.
Many sixes are hit at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium, which has a flat field and limited space. If you lack quality there, you are exposed. The only thing that sets you apart from the rest is quality, and the two spinners here are of the highest caliber,” Chopra said.
