IPL 2025 Auction: Both Rahul And Starc Are World-class Players, Says Delhi Capitals Head Coach Badani
Kolkata Knight Riders: Delhi Capitals made two significant buys in the first half of Day 1 of the IPL 2025 Mega Auction in Jeddah. Australia's Mitchell Starc was acquired for Rs 11.75 crore while India’s wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul was bought for Rs 14 crore by the franchise.
Reflecting on the buys, Delhi Capitals head coach Hemang Badani said, “Pretty elated with the buys. Both KL and Starc are world-class players. In fact, they're battling each other right now in India versus Australia, so it's pretty interesting."
"Starc is a match-winner, he's a wicket-taker, and couldn't be happier. And with KL Rahul again, somebody who we believe is a bankable player, will give you runs each season, has been somebody who's given or scored runs every IPL season. For me, at the moment, this is the best buy of the auction. But having said this, there's work to do," he added.
