It will be interesting to see the Delhi Capitals’ combination for the first game of IPL 2025. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of two players who could surprisingly play for Delhi Capitals against LSG in IPL 2025.
1) Karun Nair
When DC picked him at the auctions, many felt he was just going to be a backup. However, the situation is different right now. Karun is in great form and can do well for the side.
Moreover, Harry Brook is not there and DC might need to have an Indian batter in the middle order. Karun is the best option for the side in this regard. While his preferred slot will be at No.3, he could get to bat at No.4 or No.5 for the side in the playing XI.
2) Darshan Nalkande could surprisingly play for Delhi Capitals against LSG in IPL 2025
Darshan Nalkande is one of the players who could surprisingly play for Delhi Capitals against LSG in IPL 2025. The bowling all-rounder could be one of the choices for DC as the Impact Player, especially if the side is batting second against LSG.
Darshan is someone who can do well at multiple phases. Mohit Sharma is also an option but if DC needs someone who can operate in the powerplay, Darshan is the choice.
