CHE vs DC IPL 2025 – Top Captaincy Picks for Dream11
Noor Ahmad (CSK)
Noor Ahmad has been one of the most impressive bowlers in IPL 2025 so far. The left-arm spinner has taken nine wickets in just three matches, starting with a four-wicket haul, followed by three and two wickets in the next two games. With an economy rate of just 6.83, he brings both control and attacking intent. Noor’s consistency makes him a top captaincy choice for your Dream11 team.
Mitchell Starc (DC)
Mitchell Starc has made a powerful impact for Delhi Capitals, grabbing eight wickets in only two matches. He picked up three wickets in the first game and followed it up with a stunning five-wicket haul in the next. While his economy rate hovers around 10, his wicket-taking ability makes him a high-risk, high-reward captaincy pick, especially in grand league contests.
Rachin Ravindra (CSK)
Rachin Ravindra may have failed in the last match, getting out for a duck, but his form has been impressive overall. He scored 106 runs in the first two games and was the top scorer in the Champions Trophy 2025, proving his consistency on the big stage. Opening the innings, he gets the opportunity to face more balls, which increases his potential for Dream11 points. Rachin remains a solid captaincy option for this fixture.
