Delhi Capitals’ Strengths:

The biggest strength of Delhi Capitals in the IPL 2025 season is going to be its quality pace attack and lethal openers. In fast bowling, the team has international players like Dushmantha Chameera, Mitchell Starc, Mohit Sharma, T Natarajan, Mukesh Kumar, while in the opening, apart from Jack Fraser Magerk, Faf du Plessis and KL Rahul are present to give a stormy start to the team.

Delhi Capitals’ Weaknesses

So if we talk about the weakness of Delhi Capitals in the upcoming season, apart from the core playing eleven of the team, they lack bench strength. If any one player from the 11 players playing in the team gets injured, then problems may increase for them.

Delhi Capitals’ Opportunities

After the kind of team DC has selected in the mega auction, there is a great opportunity with the team in the upcoming IPL season. As an opportunity, the team has hard hitters in the form of Tristan Stubbs and Ashutosh Sharma, who can prove fatal at DC’s home ground Arun Jaitley Stadium. Also, the top 5 hard hitters are present in the opening round of Delhi. Which can be of great benefit to Delhi on the second smallest ground in India.

Delhi Capitals’ Threats

What can prove to be a big threat for the team in the upcoming season of IPL is the team’s spin bowling. If Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel are not able to perform well, then the team does not have quality spin bowlers.
