IPL 2025: Predicting DC’s playing XI for their clash against PBKS

The Delhi Capitals had a tough day against the Sunrisers Hyderabad during their clash in SRH’s home city. The visiting side was thrashed left and right by the Sunrisers, and captain Pat Cummins played a huge role in that. Thankfully, rain rescued them from having a big loss, and they will be happy to fly out of Hyderabad with a valuable point.

The race to the playoffs is getting tighter and tighter. The Royal Challengers Bengaluru are leading at the top, followed by the Punjab Kings, who scored their first-ever 15 points in the IPL. Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans are in the elimination zone. 

Teams will look to finish in the top 2 places as they get another shot at the finals. DC must win this match against PBKS to seal their spot in the playoffs, and let us see the predicted playing 11 of the Delhi Capitals team.

Batters 

The top four will be the same, with the more experienced Faf Du Plessis opening the game for DC alongside Porel. KL Rahul hasn’t clicked after his Kantara innings against RCB. As the playoffs are nearing, we expect a classy Rahul innings in this match. Sameer Rizvi and Tristan Stubbs are there to stabilise the team in the middle order.

Bowlers

Delhi Capitals have a fantastic bowling lineup with Mitchell Starc leading the attack in the powerplay, followed by Chameera for the middle overs and Natarajan, who will take care of the death bowling. Captain Axar Patel and Vipraj Nigam will be there in the middle phase of the game to carry the momentum. We haven’t seen Natarajan bowl yet in this IPL.

Impact Players

Ashutosh Sharma will be back as an impact player as the Delhi Capitals needed someone who can finish the game by playing till the final ball. Overall, the match will be for the spot in the playoffs, and whoever loses the game will have a tough time in the next few days.
