DC's Heavyweights or Deadweights? 3 Players Holding Them Back in IPL 2026

Let’s be real, the Delhi Capitals have a squad that looks like a million bucks on paper, but when it comes to performance, it’s more like a rusty old penny. As skipper Axar Patel tries to sharpen his team for IPL 2026, three players are standing out as potential burdens that could weigh them down.

Mitchell Starc, once a fearsome bowler, has seen his best days slip away like a loose ball down the leg side. His lack of impact has been glaring, and if DC wants to make waves this season, they need him to rediscover his mojo.

Then there's the issue of Faf du Plessis and Jake Fraser-McGurk. While they’ve contributed in the past, their form has dipped, making them more of a liability than an asset. If DC is serious about pushing for the playoffs, these players must either step up or step aside.

With competition heating up, will Axar have the guts to make the tough calls? Keep your eyes peeled, because IPL 2026 is shaping up to be a rollercoaster!
