Top Performers :

Best Batter – KL Rahul:
KL Rahul has been in sublime form this IPL season, amassing 200 runs in just 4 innings at a staggering average of 66.66 and a strike rate of 163.93. Although he missed DC's opener, he’s bounced back strong with two half-centuries. His dominance against Rajasthan Royals is well documented, with 713 runs in 16 innings at an average of 50.93 — making him a top fantasy pick and a key batter to watch at Arun Jaitley Stadium.

Best Bowler – Kuldeep Yadav:
Kuldeep Yadav has been sensational at home, thriving on the spin-friendly Delhi surface. With 10 wickets at an exceptional average of 11.20 and a miserly economy of 5.60, the left-arm wrist-spinner has struck in every match so far. His form makes him a game-changer for DC, especially in spin-assisting conditions at Arun Jaitley Stadium.

Pick a balanced team with top-order batters, all-rounders, and wicket-taking bowlers.

Captain choices: KL Rahul or Axar Patel.
Vice-Captain choices: Kuldeep Yadav or Mitchell Starc.
