The Delhi Capitals (DC) made a startling roster cut before the Indian Premier League 2025 mega auctions. They let rid of their captain, Rishabh Pant, who became the buzz of the town, along with their most valuable possession. However, four players were kept on board: Abhishek Porel (Rs 4 crore), Tristan Stubbs (Rs 10 crore), Kuldeep Yadav (Rs 13.25 crore), and Axar Patel (Rs 16.50 crore).
Despite having a small budget, DC managed to acquire two big-name players, Mitchell Starc for INR 11.75 crore and KL Rahul for INR 14 crore. For INR 9 crore, Jake Fraser-McGurk, another fiery opener who attracted attention during his first season in the IPL, was eventually brought back via RTM. The Capitals, who have a new manager in KL Rahul, will start their campaign on March 24 against the Lucknow Super Giants at the ACA-VDCA Stadium in Vizag in an attempt to snap their trophy drought.
