3 players Delhi Capitals can target as their captain in IPL 2025 auction

In recent years, the Delhi Capitals have struggled, missing out on the playoffs in each of the previous three seasons. This follows three straight postseason trips, including a second-place finish in 2020, which is likely why they may be considering a different course. Remarkably, Rishabh Pant is no longer their captain, and former Australia captain Ricky Ponting as head coach. Ahead of IPL 2025 Delhi Capitals have made lot of changes and during IPL 2025 auction they will look to buy some players who can make strong team. Hence on that we take a look at 3 players Delhi Capitals can target as their captain in IPL 2025.

It’s likely that a lot of excellent players will be sold, which hasn’t happened in auctions before. However, because the auction purse is only INR 120 crore, there’s a potential they won’t fetch higher prices.

1. Shreyas Iyer

Shreyas Iyer can be back in Delhi Capitals teams because of his previous experiences playing for the Capitals, leading them to the finals against Mumbai Indians, and his accomplishments as captain during the previous IPL. He won’t be cheap, of course, but the Capitals could spend a fortune on him because he solves several issues. During last IPL Shreyas Iyer led KKR to finals and even won them title after 10 years.

2. Jos Buttler

Another player from the overseas batter pool who makes a lot of sense is Jos Buttler. He might also take the lead if necessary. In addition, he could wreak havoc on Delhi’s narrow ground and level track. The release of Jos Buttler was one of Rajasthan’s many perplexing retentions list decisions. One of the most successful players in IPL history, the Englishman ought to have been kept on.

3. KL Rahul

DC has little chance of buying KL Rahul if RCB doesn’t show interest in bidding for him. However, if we assume that DC will release Rishabh Pant and try to acquire KL Rahul at auction, they would get a wicketkeeper-batter to fill the role Pant has previously played for them because Rahul and Rishabh Pant have similar cricketing skills, especially as wicketkeeper. And if Rahul joins the squad, DC might make him the obvious pick for captain in IPL 2025 given his remarkable expertise managing IPL teams, whether with Punjab Kings or LSG.
