IPL Auction 2025: Delhi Capitals Squad Updated After Signing Mitchell Starc for ₹11.75 Crore
November 24, 2024: The IPL 2025 mega auction in Jeddah has brought significant changes for the Delhi Capitals (DC), with the team making a strong start by signing Australian pacer Mitchell Starc for ₹11.75 crore. The addition of Starc, one of the most lethal bowlers in the game, marks a major step for DC as they look to rebuild following a disappointing IPL 2024 campaign.
Delhi Capitals struggled for consistency last season, despite the return of their star player Rishabh Pant. A lack of cohesion within the team resulted in a string of underwhelming performances, ultimately leaving them without a playoff berth. In a surprising move ahead of the auction, DC released Pant, signaling a significant reshuffle and the need for a new captain.
Ahead of the auction, DC retained four key players, including:
With these retentions, DC entered the auction with a budget of ₹73 crore, having already spent ₹47 crore.
Delhi Capitals made a bold statement on Day 1 of the auction by securing Mitchell Starc for ₹11.75 crore. Known for his ability to deliver both in the PowerPlay and at the death, Starc is expected to bolster DC’s bowling lineup significantly.
With Mitchell Starc now leading the bowling attack, Delhi Capitals aim to build a balanced squad to challenge for the IPL title in the upcoming season. The franchise’s next moves in the auction will be critical as they search for a new captain and fill their remaining vacancies. Stay tuned for more updates as the auction progresses.
