IPL 2025: Delhi Capitals Plan Leadership Revival with Shreyas Iyer’s Return
Excitement is building around the IPL 2025 mega auction, featuring top T20 players from around the world, including Shreyas Iyer. Reports suggest that Delhi Capitals plan to make Iyer their top choice in the auction after releasing Rishabh Pant from the team.
All eyes are on Delhi Capitals in the IPL 2025 mega auction, scheduled for November 24 and 25 in Jeddah. With Rishabh Pant released, they’re searching for a new captain. DC has kept Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, Abhishek Porel and Tristan Stubbs for the upcoming season.
Shreyas Iyer shares a deep bond with Delhi Capitals, where he spent seven seasons before joining Kolkata Knight Riders in 2022. He successfully led KKR to the IPL 2024 title, but the team decided not to retain him for the upcoming season, making him a key player to watch in the auction.
Starting his IPL journey with Delhi Capitals, Iyer received strong backing during his early years. He took the team to the playoffs in 2019 and the final in 2020, where they lost to Mumbai Indians. Across 115 matches, Iyer has scored 3127 runs, averaging 32.24 with a strike rate of 127.48.
A report suggests that Delhi Capitals are planning an aggressive bid for Shreyas Iyer at the mega auction. The team is eager to have him return as captain, with the GMR Group, co-owners of the franchise, reportedly influencing the decision to release Rishabh Pant.
