Who should lead DC in IPL 2025 Faf du Plessis or KL Rahul?
As preparations for IPL 2025 intensify among all the ten franchises, the teams have completed their squads. But several teams are yet to finalize their captains, meanwhile, teams like Mumbai Indians, CSK, GT, RR, and SRH have confirmed their captains, while others are still facing uncertainty. Let’s look at Who should lead DC in IPL 2025?
Delhi Capitals were the franchise, whose auction was the best overall. Signings of Harry Brook, KL Rahul, and Mitch Starc have all been steal deals, which shows DC’s prowess in the auction. The major point although are the signings of KL Rahul and Faf du Plessis, which signal their strong title ambitions. The key question remains, who will captain the team in IPL 2025? Will it be Faf du Plessis, with his experience, or KL Rahul, known for his leadership qualities?
Faf du Plessis boasts a Stronger Captaincy Resume
Over the past 3 IPL seasons, the Lucknow franchise had a stronger squad on paper, but in reality, RCB led by Faf du Plessis, proved to be the more successful team. RCB made playoffs twice under Faf’s captaincy, and the team was instrumental, especially in the 2022 Eliminator, where RCB triumphed.
Faf’s batting doesn’t get shy because of captaincy, his strike rates as the captain are pretty solid, he has given 153 and 161 in the recent seasons. This highlights his ability to capitalize on the powerplay. Meanwhile, KL Rahul’s batting has been criticized for a slow strike rate of 136 with his captaincy often seen as affecting his performance.
Should KL Rahul Focus on Batting Instead of Captaincy?
Even Though KL Rahul Performs best when relieved from captaincy pressure, his experience with captaining and his calm demeanor shouldn’t be ignored. He can lead the team to great results if given the chance, but with Faf in line for the captaincy job as well, it’s a tough call.
While Rahul’s experience and calm demeanor make him a key player for Delhi’s title aspirations, offering consistency to help them chase their first IPL title. The final decision rests with the team’s co-owners and coaching staff.
