Delhi Capitals (DC) is ready to give the payback to other teams in IPL 2025. With their new captain Axar Patel and one of the best bowing units this year, they are set to win their first-ever IPL title.
Let’s look at three bowlers who could be DC’s top wicket-takers in IPL 2025

Kuldeep Yadav is a key asset for DC. His wrist spin has troubled batters across formats. He was instrumental in India’s ICC Champions Trophy win and remains one of the best spinners in the game.
Why is he so effective?
- His deceptive wrist movement confuses batters.
- He can turn the ball both ways, creating uncertainty.
- His ability to break partnerships makes him DC’s go-to spinner in the middle overs.
Last season, he picked up 16 wickets. This year? Expect him to be even better.
2. Mitchell Starc

Mitchell Starc is a game-changer. He helped Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) win IPL 2024 with 17 wickets. Now, he brings his lethal pace to DC. His ability to swing the new ball and nail yorkers at the death overs makes him one of the best death-over bowlers.
Why is Starc a threat to other teams
- Deadly pace and swing with the new ball.
- Experience in handling high-pressure moments.
- Sharp bouncers and cutters to trouble batters.
1. Axar Patel
Powerplay or controlling runs within the middle overs, Axar can provide. He performed a key function in India’s ICC Champions Trophy victory, proving his all-round cost.
Axar’s IPL so far:
- 123 wickets consider his debut in 2014.
- He always picks up 10+ wickets each season.
- Can bowl at one-of-a-kind stages of the game, giving DC flexibility.
- With the added obligation of captaincy, Axar can be influenced to lead DC to their first IPL trophy.
