Choosing the right captain is one of the most important decisions for any IPL team. As Delhi Capitals look ahead to IPL 2025, the debate around who should lead the team has grown stronger. Two big names, Faf du Plessis and KL Rahul, stand out as potential candidates. While KL Rahul has experience, Faf du Plessis brings unmatched leadership skills and proven success in T20 cricket. This article explores why Faf du Plessis could be the perfect captain for DC, ensuring a brighter and more successful season. Plenty of Experience Image Source: BCCI The first and the main reason why Faf du Plessis should captain DC in IPL 2025 Instead of KL Rahul, is the experience of the veteran player as skipper. He has captained the South African team for a long time, and he has also served so many franchises as a captain in different T20 leagues. His tactics are way better than KL Rahul's, which would help DC to make smart decisions on the field. It will be nice for DC if Faf leads them in the IPL 2025.

We have seen, since he started captaining the sides in the IPL, his impact in the IPL has gone down as he has approached his batting in a very conservative way. There will be less pressure on KL Rahul, and he will surely raise his game on the grand stage. When he was playing as a player with Punjab Kings, he scored a lot of impactful runs, which means he loves to bat with less pressure. Proven Leader in T20 Leagues Image Source: Getty Images Faf du Plessis is a proven skipper in T20 leagues; he has done a great job in leadership roles in global T20 leagues. We have seen it in IPL as well when he got a chance to lead RCB, and he led them really well and helped them to enter into the playoffs on two occasions. In CPL 2024 he also helped the Saint Lucia Kings to win the title. All these things show how brilliant he has been in the leadership role, and he has results in his favor.
