Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam. The Delhi Capitals had an amazing start to their IPL 2025 campaign as they picked up an exciting 1-wicket victory over the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in a thrilling match at the very same venue. Therefore, it will be really important for the Delhi Capitals to extend this winning momentum further in the T20 competition as well. 

KL Rahul to play today's SRH vs DC IPL 2025 match?

The good news for the Delhi Capitals fans is that KL Rahul has already joined the camp in Visakhapatnam and will be playing the DC vs SRH IPL 2025 match starting on Saturday. It was a massive occasion for the cricketer's family as the duo of KL Rahul and his wife Athiya Shetty have been blessed with a baby girl due to which he missed the opening game for the Delhi Capitals against the Lucknow Super Giants. However, he has returned for his IPL duties now with a brand new franchise.

Interestingly, KL Rahul played a vital role in India's fabulous triumph at the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. He contributed with some crucial knocks while finishing matches towards the end under immense pressure. While captaining the Lucknow Super Giants, the right-handed batter smashed an impressive total of 520 runs from 14 games in IPL 2024 at a strike-rate of more than 136 that included as many as four fifties. 

However, he wasn't retained by the Lucknow Super Giants ahead of the IPL 2025 mega auction after which the Delhi Capitals team management showed faith in India's dynamic cricketer, procuring him at a price worth INR 14 Crore. While talking about overall KL Rahul stats in IPL history, he has notched up a fine tally of 4683 runs from 132 games at a strike-rate of nearly 135 that includes 37 half-centuries and 4 hundreds. He is expected to replace one of Abhishek Porel or Sameer Rizvi in the middle-order, walking straight into the DC playing 11 and he is very much likely to keep the wickets as well.
