The 32nd match of the IPL 2025 has been scheduled for Delhi Capitals vs Rajasthan Royals (DC vs RR), which will be played at Arun Jaitley Stadium (Delhi) on Wednesday evening (April 16). Let's check the Dream11 top captains and vice-captains for the DC vs RR match. 

IPL 2025, Match 32: DC vs RR Probable XIs

Delhi Capitals Predicted Playing XI: Faf du Plessis/Jake Fraser-McGurk, Abishek Porel, Karun Nair, Tristan Stubbs, KL Rahul (wk), Axar Patel (Captain), Ashutosh Sharma/Mukesh Kumar (Impact Sub), Vipraj Nigam, Kuldeep Yadav, Mitchell Starc, Mohit Sharma

IPL 2025, Match 32: DC vs RR Dream11 Top Captains And Vice-captains

Top 3 Dream11 Captain choices

KL Rahul: KL Rahul is in great form with the bat as he scored two match-winning half-centuries for his team this season out of four matches. After scoring 77 runs against Chennai Super Kings, he also scored another match-winning 93 not out against Royal Challengers Bengaluru, when DC were struggling in the chase.  

Kuldeep Yadav: While Kuldeep Yadav is the leading wicket-taker for the Delhi franchise in the IPL 2025 with 10 wickets, he holds the best economy rate (5.60) among the overall bowlers this IPL season, who have delivered a minimum of 10 overs.  

Yashasvi Jaiswal: In the last three matches, RR opener Yashasvi Jaiswal scored two half-centuries, where the left-handed batter scored 67, 6, and 75 runs. We may see another good contest between Jaiswal and Mitchell Starc. 

Top 3 Dream11 Vice-captain choices

Karun Nair: During Delhi Capitals' last game, Karun Nair made his IPL comeback after two years and played his best IPL knock ever with a fiery 89 off 40 balls with 12 fours and five sixes, while chasing the 206-run target. He is in dream form with the bat, and he is proving it continuously. 

Mitchell Starc: After recording a three-wicket haul and a fifer in his first two matches of the season, Mitchell Starc took only one wicket in the last three games, including wicketless in the last two games. While RR batting is facing challenges, Starc can be a dangerous option for the Delhi Capitals. 

Sanju Samson: RR captain Sanju Samson's big problem is inconsistency. However, the right-handed batter has shown positive intensity this season, as he has scored  66, 13, 20, 38, 41, and 15 runs, respectively. 

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 has produced some exciting batters and bowlers throughout the years. In the era of quick-paced cricket, especially in the over format, pace variation becomes an effective card for bowlers. Cross seam and scrambled seam deliveries have also become popular among pace bowlers. With variations (pace, spin line, and length), bowlers force batters to make mistakes. But which bowlers are so far looking dangerous in the ongoing IPL 2025?

Interestingly, in IPL 2025, several seasoned pacers have stepped up for their respective franchises. Names like Prasidh Krishna, Shardul Thakur, and even veteran Ishant Sharma—who continues to clock speeds of 140 km/h—have shown their value. However, raw pace alone isn't enough in the T20 format; it’s the clever use of variations that often makes the difference. Among them, Prasidh Krishna has arguably stood out the most, showcasing his ability to adapt his bowling to suit pitch conditions. To truly assess whether pacers or spinners have had a greater impact this season, a closer look at the numbers is essential.

Top Wicket Takers

Some more notable performers in this series are Prasidh Krishna (Pace), Mohammed Siraj (Pace), Khaleel Ahmed (Pace), and Sai Kishore (Spin). These all, especially mentioned bowlers, claimed 10 scalps in 6 innings each. 

Top 5 bowlers according to economy rate 

As IPL 2025 unfolds, the battle between spin and pace continues to shape match outcomes and team strategies. While express pacers remain crucial in powerplays and death overs, it’s the spinners who are quietly emerging as game-changers. Bowlers like Kuldeep Yadav and Noor Ahmad have demonstrated the value of control and variation, often turning games around with their economy and wicket-taking abilities. On the other hand, pacers such as Hardik Pandya and Shardul Thakur are delivering impactful spells when it matters most. However, consistency and control have tilted the scales slightly in favor of spin, especially during the middle overs. As the tournament progresses and pitches begin to deteriorate due to consistent use, conditions are likely to further benefit spinners. Slower surfaces and variable bounce will play into their hands, making spin a more dominant force in the latter stages of IPL 2025. The spin vs pace rivalry is far from over—but spin may just have the final say.

During the Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians match in the IPL 2025 in Delhi, DC spinner Kuldeep Yadav provided an important breakthrough by dismissing the dangerous MI opener Ryan Rickelton, who was totally clueless at his dismissal.

It was the IPL 2025 match between the in-form Delhi Capitals vs struggling Mumbai Indians, where DC skipper Axar Patel selected to bowl first after winning the toss in their first match in Delhi this season. MI openers Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton had a strong 47-run partnership before the five-time IPL-winning former skipper Rohit Sharma was dismissed by Vipraj Nigam in the fifth over. 

However, Rickelton continued his dominant batting, while MI scored 59/1 at the end of the powerplay. He smashed his second sixer in the game in the seventh over as the hosts were desperate to get rid of him. The left-arm chinaman Kuldeep Yadav was introduced into the attack in the eighth over, it was proved to be a great move for the hosts.

Ryan Rickelton failed to pick Kuldeep Yadav's googly

After conceding only two runs in the first three balls of his spell, Kuldeep bowled Rickelton, who had no clue against the spinner. It was a googly, which the South African batter failed to pick. It spun, and Rickelton completely missed that, and it cost him the wicket. He was batting nicely before that over, as he scored 41 off 25 balls with five fours and two sixes. At his dismissal, MI scored 75/2 in 7.4 overs.

Kuldeep Yadav was outstanding

Mumbai Indians ultimately scored 205/5 in 20 overs, their second-highest total in the ongoing IPL 2025. Apart from the opener Rickelton, Suryakumar Yadav (40), Tilak Varma (59), and Naman Dhir (38*) also scored crucial runs in the innings. While all the Delhi Capitals' bowlers were expensive, with a minimum of 9.50 economy rate in that innings, Kuldeep Yadav finished with the bowling figures of 4-0-23-2, as he also took the wicket of Suryakumar Yadav. Kuldeep conceded three fours but delivered 11 dot balls.

IPL 2025, Match 10: DC vs SRH Dream11 Top Captains And Vice-captains

Top 3 Captain's choices

Travis Head: Australian cricketer Travis Head is proving again why all teams fear him, as he has started the IPL 2025 by providing two solid starts for his team SRH. After scoring 67 off 31 balls (nine fours and three sixes) against Rajasthan Royals in their tournament opener, Head scored 47 off 28 balls (five fours and three sixes) against Lucknow Super Giants.  

Axar Patel: Indian all-rounder Axar Patel is in good form as an all-rounder. The leadership duty can be a huge task for Axar, but he is now capable of handling it. In their season opener, while Patel had the bowling figures of 3-0-18-0, he set up the dramatic chasing journey after coming to bat at 7/3 and scored a quick-fire 22 off 11 balls (three fours and one six).

KL Rahul: KL Rahul missed out on Delhi Capitals' season opener, but he is now ready for his debut for Delhi Capitals. He is in good form with the bat and is likely to take the middle-order batting role for his new IPL team. 

Top 3 Vice-captain's choices

Mitchell Starc: Australian left-arm fast bowler Mitchell Starc started the IPL 2025 season with three wickets against Lucknow Super Giants as he had the bowling figures of 4-0-42-3. Even though the batters hit him, Starc has the ability to return to the game by picking up wickets.

Kuldeep Yadav: The left-arm chinaman bowler Kuldeep Yadav is now a stronger bowler by improving his consistency with the ball. During Delhi's season opener, Kuldeep had the bowling figures of 4-0-20-2.

Pat Cummins: Australian captain Pat Cummins is one of the top cricketers. Besides his bowling, Cummins is also useful for his big hits, smashing sixes in the first three balls during their previous fixture against Lucknow Super Giants. In their last game, while all other SRH bowlers were struggling, captain Cummins provided a brave fight with two wickets, and both victims were set batters Mitchell Marsh (52) and Nicholas Pooran (70).  

The conversation with current Indian ball twirler Kuldeep Yadav sparked a little excitement in the hearts of the fans as he compared the legendary footballers of all times to some of India's top-end cricketers. This comparison shows the common skills, mindset, and play style of both sports, and the crossover is an effective one.

Virat Kohli as Cristiano Ronaldo & Rohit Sharma as Steven Gerrard:

According to Kuldeep Yadav, Virat is a reflection of Cristiano Ronaldo, who is also known for his hard work, how he has led the team, and his ability to perform during the most tense parts of the game. On the other hand, Kuldeep drew a parallel between Rohit Sharma and Steven Gerrard, saying that they are both level-headed players, very tactful, and win games often.

MS Dhoni as Paul Scholes & Jasprit Bumrah as Zlatan Ibrahimovic:

MS Dhoni, who is a legend in his own right, was compared to Paul Scholes, as both of them were known for their intelligent and composed playing abilities as well as the control of the game. Jasprit Bumrah was his equal among Indian players because he was likened to Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who was unpredictable and had a style that was both unconventional and highly dominant.

Rishabh Pant as Mohamed Salah and Kuldeep Yadav as Bernardo Silva:

Kuldeep Yadav equated Rishabh Pant with Mohamed Salah, as both of them are immensely quick guys who can score in no time and sham opponents as they zigzag around. Similar to Salah's surprise blitzes and his goal-getter skills, Pant also pours out the same venom in cricket, and his attacking game can be crucial in winning the match.
Yet, Kuldeep Yadav was not only like Bernardo Silva but wider as well, which made everyone notice his excellent control, inventiveness, and skillful playing that led to outmaneuvering his competitors. The considerable dexterous play of Silva in football and his game sense very well reflect Kuldeep’s gripping his wrist-spin moves and tactical way of bowling, which usually perplexes hitters.

KL Rahul as Virgil van Dijk & Hardik Pandya as Wayne Rooney:

Kuldeep was amazed at how alike KL Rahul and Virgil van Dijk are while considering some of their special qualities like their coolness, dependability, and their capability to hold the middle order. As a rock-solid defense player, Van Dijk glues the team's batting order by batting in different formats, while Rahul challenges the pressure with ease, thereby giving their side stability.
Elsewhere, Hardik Pandya was likened to Wayne Rooney, which means he is bravely aggressive, omnipotent, and has the winner-takes-all mentality. Parallel to Pens' Rooney, Pandya gets to up his game when there's a do-or-die moment, using his abilities to the maximum the game over, be it striking or breaking the crucial wicket.

Yashasvi Jaiswal as Phil Foden:

Kuldeep was of the opinion that Yashasvi Jaiswal was like the very young Phil Foden because both of them were young, had immense talent, and were able to win matches by their own performances.  Similar to Foden, who possesses the power of technique and instinct in attacking, Jaiswal is one of the strongest cricket talents of India, which we have found recently; he can play fearlessly and switch smoothly from T20's to the other formats.

Kuldeep’s comparisons have sparked engaging discussions among fans, drawing exciting parallels between cricket and football while showcasing the unique strengths of these players in their respective sports.

30 to win off 30 and South Africa were cruising in the T20 World Cup Finals last year. The game was slipping away until Jasprit Bumrah came with a magical spell to bring the trophy home. He was center stage again during the Border Gavaskar Trophy finishing with 30+ wickets, dominating and single-handedly keeping India through the series. Ruled out though, the Champions Trophy was always going to be a challenge for India. Their strike bowler was gone and India were going in without a trump card seemingly. Dubai though, with its spin allowed India to trust their vintage spin.

Most teams go in with two spinners and maybe a part-timer on conditions that offer a good amount of turn. India, though, started with three to challenge Pakistan and Bangladesh. They then decided that they could do with one more, bringing their final Trump card, Varun Chakravarthy, in to play four spinners. Dubai was helping them with a lot of spin and slowness on tired tracks that have recently hosted the ILT20. From the norm of two spinners and a part timer, India went with not three but four spinners of differing variety. Two of them are left-arm spinners who bat as good as anyone in the top five thus extending the batting line-up to number eight while giving six genuine bowling options. They also went with two wrist-spinners using both hands with a lot of mystery behind them.

In Axar Patel, India had a left-arm spinner who could bowl in the powerplay while also batting at number five gave India a leftie in the middle-order. The other left-arm spinner, Ravindra Jadeja, is among the greatest all-rounders in the game and is a proven master of the middle-overs. In each game he was as quick as ever into his overs, finishing them in less than two minutes giving batters little time to breath. His fielding is an added bonus with the arm as good as ever. Kuldeep Yadav the third one comes with a lot of mystery and woke up as a death bowler in the tournament bowling a fair chunk of his overs in the last ten of the innings. The fourth one, Varun Chakravarthy comes in with mystery of his own. He is relatively new as well in the international circuit and can bowl equally well through the innings.

With the quartet, India were quick in spinning webs around the batters. Solid starts quickly became slow paced with batters struggling to find the boundary or even get the ball past the square for a single. The final was clear evidence of the spinners doing their magic. At 57 for no loss in the 9th over, Will Young and Rachin Ravindra were running away with the game. Varun Chakravarthy though opened the game up with a beauty to get Will Young and Kuldeep Yadav bowled what could be the ball of the Final to get Rachin Ravindra. He picked the wicket of Williamson as well and that set New Zealand into snooze mode. The intent was gone and India had the best men to make the most of it. Axar Patel started but it was Ravindra Jadeja, introduced in the 19th over who got into his rhythm. It was his day as he bowled over after over, hitting the same line and length that made him dangerous for so many years. There wasn't much spin but he was getting it to grip, and being the fastest of the four he was tough to get under. Jadeja rushed through his overs bowling nine unchanged and getting Tom Latham out sweeping. He followed with some energetic chases and rocket throws while finishing the innings at number eight highlighting his value once more in the side.

The middle-overs shift though was not his alone. With Jadeja holding one end, the attacking bowlers took the other ends with Kuldeep, Axar and Chakravarthy rotating. Kuldeep and Chakravarthy had already laid the groundwork with three wickets between them and Rohit Sharma used the three of them beautifully in bursts. It was Chakravarthy who got Glenn Phillips again at the right time with Phillips just getting into his groove heading into the slog overs. The other left-arm spinner, Axar Patel, comes in slightly differently. Taller than Jadeja, he brings in the extra bounce and he was just as good, if not better than Jadeja at applying the squeeze, picking up wickets as well at key points. For Axar though, bowling was not the only aspect. His batting in the top five was equally crucial. He played a key knock in the Final, as the leftie in the middle-order.

With Kuldeep Yadav, India did not miss Bumrah as Yadav took the death overs and bowled them really well. The true trump card though was Varun Chakravarthy who was tough to pick. Teams could not read him as he took nine wickets in the three matches he played. Had he started the Player of the Tournament medal could have well been his. The tournament had a lot of dominance with the batters making marks at different times. The engine room though was clearly the spin quartet, which is something that is very rare to see and something Cricket might not see as often.

These people might not play a critical role in cricket, but their existence undeniably increases the level of entertainment provided to the fans. While everything is just a guess until proven wrong, these off field activties are incredibly captivating for the onlookers.

India vs New Zealand Champions Trophy has started graciously for India. They are in a commanding position over them despite a poor start. New Zealand won the toss and elected to bat first in the Champions Trophy final. Even New Zealand started the innings positively where Rachin and Young were hitting boundaries. India lost few chances of taking wickets which led to frustration for the team and the fans. 

Mohammad Shami's jinks of not taking the catch continued when he dropped Rachin Ravindra when he was on 17 it was a straightforward catch but missed by him. Then the second time he was given out for a catch after the review it was found nothing was there. Rachin gave another chance over the leg side which went through the air and was dropped by Shreyas Iyer, with lots of happening on the ground it gave an instinct that it was not Team India's day for today.

Kuldeep Yadav For Rescue 

When everything went against them then Captain Rohit Sharma gave ball to Kuldeep Yadav untill then Rachin Ravindra escaped a lot. But not this time Kuldeep 3rd delivery gated into the stumps  and breaked it with that India got a breakthrough and with that Kuldeep jinks with the ball in ICC Knockout games was also broken. It was Varun Chakravarthy who took the first wicket of Young Young. 

Next the proceedings were taken care by Kuldeep Yadav. Kuldeep had a good outing in this Champions Trophy but he was not clicking with the wickets. And what a day he choosed to do it. Rohit tried out with his pace bowlers but were leaking runs which was hurting them more. Soon he turned to his spinners who were getting some purchase from the wicket which was clearly visible too. 

One Brings Two Decides The Depictor

KKuldeep came to his next over with a short break of time and this time it was Williamson who hit straight back to Kuldeep Yadav and Kuldeep takes the sharp catch and departs the big fish who would be more dangerous if had stood more in the crease. There were questions raising about Kuldeep Yadav playing position being wicketless in ICC knockout games hurting India everytime.

This time Kuldeep Yadav gave his answers to all his critics who were questioning his position, even the great thing is that captain and coach had full confidence on him keeping him in the playing 11 and today he repaid the faith put on him. Those two crucial wickets has given India the cution of score not going above par of it. 

New Zealand was dealt a huge setback as captain Kane Williamson was sent back at a critical phase of the game. The seasoned batter, who is famous for his ability to remain calm in pressure situations, tried to push the ball towards the leg side but instead chipped it straight back to Indian spinner Kuldeep Yadav.

Kuldeep, being the quick-witted bowler that he is, took the catch with ease, sending Williamson to the pavilion for only 11 runs off 14 balls. This is a big breakthrough for India, as Williamson was supposed to steady New Zealand's innings.
