Delhi Capitals had a season of two extreme halves in the IPL 2025. Under new captain Axar Patel, they started strong by winning their first four matches. However, they faced a sharp downturn, losing six of their next eight matches, ultimately leading to their elimination from the playoffs race. Their fate was sealed with a 59-run loss to Mumbai Indians, marking their fourth straight defeat. Co-owner Parth Jindal expressed disappointment and called for introspection after the team’s poor performance in the second half of the season. The team’s failure to establish a settled opening pair was highlighted as a key reason behind their downfall, with seven different partners tried in 13 matches. Despite their struggles, Delhi will face Punjab Kings in their final game. Head coach Hemang Badani emphasized the importance of getting off to good starts, which the team struggled with throughout the season. Overall, the season ended on a disappointing note for Delhi Capitals, prompting a need for reflection and improvement moving forward.
