Delhi'sFranchise, the Capitals, Reinstate Faf du Plessis and Tristan Stubbs as they Prepare for IPL 2025's Restart
Delhi Capitals Revives its Squad for IPL 2025: Insider Scoop!
Get ready for some exciting updates from the Delhi Capitals (DC) camp! The boys are back in town, and they're bringing hope for a fresh winning streak. According to a recent release, the vice-captain Faf du Plessis and middle-order batter Tristan Stubbs have rejoined the squad, all set to rock the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 resumption.
Bummer news, though - Australian pacer Mitchell Starc and South African all-rounder Donovan Ferreira won't be available for the upcoming games. Don't worry, DC fully supports their decisions and wishes them continued success. If you're wondering, Starc, DC's highest wicket-taker this season, has snagged 14 wickets in 11 matches, averaging 26.14.
And here's a Burn Hollywood, Burn moment! Bangladeshi seamer Mustafizur Rahman has bagged an No-objection certificate from the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) to collaborate with DC from May 18 to 24, 2025, during the ongoing IPL. Flying from Sharjah to India just in time for our next clash against Gujarat Titans! Remember, he'll be replacing the Australian opener Jake Fraser-McGurk, who won't make it for the rest of IPL 2025.
Mustafizur had previously strutted his stuff for DC during the 2022 and 2023 seasons, racking up an impressive 38 wickets throughout his IPL career. He's known for his exceptional bowling skills, adapting to every phase of an innings.
What's next for DC? Well, after a rough patch with four losses in the past five matches after maintaining a winning streak at the start of the season, DC is currently sitting pretty at the fifth spot in the table. With IPL 2025 geared up to kick off on May 17, let's see if the DC boys can conquer the Arun Jaitley Stadium against Gujarat Titans and get back in the game!
Here's a quick look at the DC squad:
- Captain: Axar Patel
