With 15 points from 14 games, the Delhi Capitals (DC) finished fifth in the points standings after a season filled with highs and lows in the 2025 Indian Premier League. Under Axar Patel's direction, the team had flashes of genius but lacked consistency, barely missing out on a postseason berth.

Even though the final result was disappointing, there is cause for hope because of the contributions of seasoned players and the rise of emerging talent. As DC looks back on the 2025 season, the accomplishments of important players give promise for a future campaign that is more reliable and effective.
