IPL 2025: 3 Match winners in Delhi Capitals (DC) squad

Delhi Capitals (DC) are still chasing their first IPL title, and they will be aiming to lift the trophy in the 2025 season. With a strong 23-member squad, DC look like one of the top teams this time, given the quality of players they have assembled.

A new era begins under the leadership of Axar Patel, but for DC to succeed, some key players will need to step up with match-winning performances in this 2025 season.

Here are the 3 Match winners in the DC squad for IPL 2025

1. KL Rahul

KL Rahul is a well-established name in this competition. He has scored over 500 runs in six of the last seven seasons. Despite his consistency, he has often faced criticism for his strike rate. However, his ability to deliver runs consistently is unmatched. This season, he has not been given leadership duties, allowing him to focus purely on his batting. As a result, he is expected to be DC’s key match-winner. In the recent Champions Trophy, he performed well in the middle order, and his ability to score runs at will sets him apart from others. 

2. Axar Patel

The star Indian all-rounder has been one of DC’s most consistent players with both bat and ball. In recent years, Axar Patel has shown significant improvement with the bat, which was evident in the recent Champions Trophy, where he played a crucial role in the middle order for India. Currently, he also holds the responsibility of being India’s vice-captain in the T20 format, and now he has been named the new captain of this franchise. Along with his all-round abilities, Axar must now lead the team from the front. His performances throughout the season, both as a player and as a skipper, will play a key role in deciding DC’s fate.

3.Mitchell Starc

The Aussie pacer was outstanding last season for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), playing a key role in their title-winning campaign. He did not start the tournament as he would have wanted, but as it progressed—especially in the playoffs and final—Mitchell Starc showed his true ability under pressure and delivered match-winning performances. DC fans will expect the same from him this season. His contribution with the ball, particularly in the powerplay and death overs, will be crucial to their success.
