IPL 2025: Delhi Capitals are yet to win the Indian Premier League. In the IPL mega auction, the Delhi Capitals made some good buys as they have built a strong squad for the upcoming IPL 2025. The Delhi Capitals will need to think hard about their playing XI composition apart from choosing their 4 overseas picks. On that note, let us check out 4 overseas players for the Delhi Capitals in IPL 2025.
4 overseas picks for Delhi Capitals in IPL 2025
Faf du Plessis
Former RCB skipper Faf du Plessis is expected to open the batting alongside KL Rahul. Du Plessis brings a lot of experience to the Delhi Capitals camp and can give quick starts with the bat in the field restrictions. Apart from his batting antics, Du Plessis can help the Delhi captain in setting up the fields and bowling changes as well.
Jake Fraser McGurk/Harry Brook
Jake Fraser-McGurk, although younger and less experienced than his overseas teammates, has already started to make waves with his explosive batting. Acquired by Delhi Capitals in the IPL 2025 auction through their Right to Match (RTM) card, McGurk is seen as a long-term investment with immediate impact potential. If not McGurk, Harry Brook is another viable option to bat at the number 3 position for DC.
Tristan Stubbs
Tristan Stubbs was retained by the DC ahead of the IPL 2025. In his short IPL career so far, Stubbs has shown great potential. He has scored 405 runs in 18 matches with a strike rate of 173.81 and an average of 36.81. Stubbs is likely to be slotted in the middle order for the Delhi Capitals in IPL 2025.
Mitchell Starc
Australia’s Mitchell Starc is not just a name but a phenomenon when it comes to fast bowling in cricket. His acquisition by DC for IPL 2025 at a hefty price tag underscores his importance to the team’s bowling attack. Known for his ability to swing the new ball both ways, Starc has the knack for breaking partnerships early, which can set the tone for the entire match.
