New Delhi:
Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman has penned a short deal with Delhi Capitals for the remainder of the IPL 2025. He will replace Jake Fraser-McGurk in the squad. The opener was bought for INR 9 crore in the auction but failed to live up to expectations. The 24-year-old made 55 runs in six matches at a strike rate of 105.76 before being dropped from the playing XI. He was reportedly disturbed following the cross-border tension between India and Pakistan and eventually decided to opt out of the remainder of the cash-rich league.
Delhi didn’t waste much time and announced the signing of Mustafizur. The 29-year-old has played 57 matches in the IPL, clinching 61 wickets at an economy rate of 8.14. Representing Chennai Super Kings last year, Mustafizur had a good campaign, picking up 14 wickets in nine. He has previously represented Delhi in the 2022 and 2023 seasons.
