Ricky Bhui, the Delhi Capitals right-hander who re-emerged in IPL 2024 after a five-year gap, is still searching for his breakout knock in the league. Across three seasons—2018 and 2019 with Sunrisers Hyderabad and now 2024 with Delhi—Bhui has managed only 10 runs from 26 balls faced in four brief innings, with a highest score of 7 and a strike rate of 38.46. The numbers reveal a player who has yet to find rhythm at the highest level: no boundaries, no sixes, no fifties or centuries to show for his efforts. While his domestic record for Andhra is laden with runs, the IPL chapter remains unwritten for the 27-year-old. With Delhi Capitals investing another season in him, the 2025 edition could finally offer Bhui the platform to convert promise into performances and rewrite his IPL story.

Faf du Plessis has become one of the most bankable IPL openers across 13 seasons and four franchises, culminating in his 2025 stint with Delhi Capitals. The South African has stacked up 4,773 runs at a strike rate of 135, carving 439 boundaries and clearing the rope 174 times—numbers that paint the picture of a batsman who keeps the scoreboard in perpetual motion. With 39 half-centuries from 147 innings, he has built consistency into aggression, while his unbeaten 96 remains the tantalising high-water mark just short of a maiden IPL ton. From Chennai Super Kings’ yellow to Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s red and now Delhi Capitals’ blue, du Plessis has turned every jersey into a run-making statement, proving that adaptability and class travel well in T20 cricket.
