IPL 2025: 3 DC Players who deserve a better team in IPL 2026

The Delhi Capitals' IPL 2025 season was tumultuous due to erratic picks, injuries, and poor performance. Some celebrities were able to win games, but others had trouble defining their roles or getting consistent opportunities.

A number of talented players were sidelined or played out of position due to this instability, which hampered their development. A new beginning with a different team as IPL 2026 draws near would give these players the security, regular playing time, and clearly defined responsibilities they require to reach their best potential and have a big influence in the competition.

Here are the 3 DC Players who deserve a better team in IPL 2026:

1. Abishek Porel

Despite being one of the few bright spots in DC's erratic batting lineup in the 2025 IPL, Abishek Porel was moved around and did not receive consistent support. He was frequently demoted or dropped without cause, even though he scored important runs when under pressure.

Porel might flourish as a middle-order anchor or finisher for a club like KKR or GT, where Indian batsmen are given more responsibility and longer runs. The squad also benefits from his wicketkeeping.

2. Jake Fraser-McGurk

DC benched the explosive Australian batsman for the duration of the IPL 2025 season and oddly excluded him from key moments after he failed to garner attention with his quick-fire hits. His daring style and ability to switch games in a few overs were not fully used.

He might have the opportunity to continuously display his skill and develop as a match-winner with a team like CSK or MI, where aggressive purpose is rewarded at the top.

3. T Natarajan

The DC criminally underutilized T Natarajan's accurate left-arm pace, frequently only using it when others failed.  Inconsistent decisions overshadowed his experience in the final overs.

Regaining his rhythm and reentering the national picture could be possible for Natarajan if he rejoins the RR or returns to a team like SRH, which would allow him to play the specific death-bowling role in which he thrives.
