IPL 2026: Top 3 Delhi Capitals batters to watch out for
DC have one player at each stage of their batting order who can come in and change the game in their favour.
2. Tristan Stubbs (Middle-order batter)
Despite only starting his third season at DC, South Africa’s Tristan Stubbs has become one of his side’s most important batters in the middle-order. Signed in 2024 and then retained in 2025, Stubbs scored 300 runs at an average of 50 and strike-rate of 150.75 in the last season after scoring at upwards of 190 in 2024.
Stubbs has the tendency to sometimes play himself in, particularly in recent times but is able to shift gears whenever required. The 25-year-old also showed during the recently-concluded T20 World Cup that he can stick around at the end and remain unbeaten to get the job done for his side. He scored an unbeaten 44 against India to help South Africa post a match-winning total in the first innings.
Stubbs has, however, had an underwhelming SA20 recently. The right-hander comes alive in the IPL at the Arun Jaitley Stadium and DC fans would be hoping for some handy contributions in the middle order to take their side to the playoffs.
