1. KL Rahul
KL Rahul was among the hot picks in the IPL 2025 mega auction. The Capitals acquired his services for INR 14 crore. It was expected that he would be named captain of the side, but he reportedly refused to take up the role. He subsequently played under the leadership of Axar Patel. Rahul played an aggressive brand of cricket, abandoning his controversial caution-first approach for the first time in many seasons in the IPL.
Rahul finished the season with 539 runs from 13 matches at an average of 53.90 and a strike rate of 149.72. While it seems that a player with such strong performances should be among the top retentions for the upcoming season, reports suggest otherwise. Rahul has been linked with several franchises, which are reportedly trying to trade him in from the Delhi Capitals. Whether he ends up shifting base will be discovered over the next few weeks; it goes without saying that his inclusion will make any side stronger.
