KL Rahul
Delhi Capitals bought KL Rahul on the first day of IPL 2025 mega auction. Then the Delhi team had paid Rs 14 crore for it. In such a situation, there was every possibility that Rahul would become the captain of Delhi. Rahul has previously captained Punjab Kings and Lucknow Super Giants. Now on the second day of the auction, Delhi has bought RCB team captain Faf du Plessis. He has received Rs 2 crore. Now with the arrival of Du Plessis, Rahul’s chances of becoming captain seem to be fading.
Has captained the RCB team
Faf du Plessis held the responsibility of captaining the RCB team for three seasons, out of which the team made it to the playoffs twice. He has a lot of captaincy experience and makes bowling changes well. So far, he has captained in 42 IPL matches, out of which RCB team has won 21 and lost 21. That means the number of matches he has captained. Won in half of them. Apart from IPL, he has also captained South Africa in 37 T20 International matches.
Du Plessis scored 4571 runs in IPL
Apart from captaining, Faf du Plessis can also open for Delhi Capitals. Once he settles on the crease, it becomes difficult to stop him. He is counted among the best batsmen of IPL. He has scored 4571 runs in IPL so far, of which 94 runs has been his best score.
Delhi has not won the title yet
Delhi Capitals team has not won the IPL title even once yet. The team had made it to the finals of the year 2020, but then the team had to face defeat. This time Delhi has bought experienced players like Faf du Plessis, Mitchell Starc, T Natarajan, Mohit Sharma and Karun Nair in the auction.
