IPL 2025: Delhi Capitals Team Analysis, Possible11, Full Squads
Updated - 19-MAR-2025 4:55 IST
With new passion the Delhi Capitals (DC) are preparing for the 2025 IPL season with the goal of winning their first championship. DC is determined to turn things around in the IPL 2025 after losing out on postseason visuals the previous three seasons. The team's smart selections to strengthen their bowling and batting units show their drive to win this season.
SWOT Of Delhi Capitals
Strengths
- Explosive Batting Lineup: Explosive batters Harry Brook and Tristan Stubbs are paired with seasoned veterans KL Rahul and Faf du Plessis in the top order.
- Amazing Bowling Attack: DC has a strong combination of pace and spin options thanks to the addition of Mitchell Starc, Anrich Nortje, and Kuldeep Yadav.
- All-Round Depth: Lalit Yadav and Axar Patel offer balance and make important plays with the bat and the ball.
Weaknesses
- Captaincy Risk: Axar Patel, who has no experience leading at this level, has been given the captaincy after KL Rahul decided to concentrate only on batting.
- Options for Wicketkeeping: Tristan Stubbs is a good wicketkeeper, but most of his career has been as a batsman, which could be problematic under pressure.
Opportunities
- Growing Talents: Youngsters like Ashutosh Sharma and Sameer Rizvi have the opportunity to make a big difference and solidify their positions on the team.
- Leadership Development: Axar Patel has the chance of showing and improving his captaincy abilities on a large platform this season.
Threats
- Injury Issues: If key players like Mitchell Starc experience injuries again, it could have an impact on the team's success.
- Team Unity: Early in the tournament, establishing on-field chemistry may be difficult when a number of fresh players join the squad.
