DC have issues elsewhere

Delhi Capitals have issues in their bowling department. The core Indian bowlers failed to deliver on numerous occasions throughout the IPL 2025 season. While skipper Axar had a below-par season with the ball, Mohit Sharma bagged just two wickets in eight innings. Mohit, in particular, was bought for ₹2 crore at the mega auction last year.

Similarly, Mukesh Kumar failed to deliver, managing just 12 wickets in as many innings at an economy rate of 10.32. T Natarajan bowled in a solitary match against the Gujarat Titans (GT), getting hammered for 49 runs in his three overs. While Mukesh was bought for ₹8 crore, the Capitals splurged ₹10.75 crore to purchase Natarajan.

As a result, DC might look for a proper replacement for Mukesh. The franchise will also have to decide whether they want to play Natarajan next season or release him before the auction.

Like Indian bowlers, Dushmantha Chameera failed to step up with the ball. The Sri Lankan pacer bagged four wickets in five innings at a poor economy rate of 11.40.
