In the concluded Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 auction, Delhi Capitals released Rishabh Pant and bought the services of KL Rahul.

Delhi Capitals have now acquired the services of KL Rahul for Rs. 10.75 crore. The bid for KL Rahul included teams like Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK), but DC had the final laugh.

Currently, Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul, both are representing Team India in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia in Australia. Team India has taken a 1-0 lead in the five-match Test series against the Aussies. Jasprit Bumrah-led India won the first Test match by a margin of 295 runs in Perth.
