One of the contenders since the start of the season was Delhi Capitals as they were in terrific form with KL Rahul leading the charge with his bat and explosive batting.

With these losses, Delhi Capitals chances of making the playoffs have also taken a big hit.
Mohammed Kaif Slams KL Rahul After DC's Poor Run In IPL 2025
As KL Rahul and Delhi Capitals seem to have lost their form and intent, former Indian player and legend Mohammed Kaif slammed KL Rahul for his intent going into matches for Delhi Capitals. During a discussion with Star Sports, Kaif was asked about KL Rahul where he revealed that KL Rahul could regain his form if he batted up the order.
"He has opened throughout his life, but when he came here, he played at No. 4. I feel more than the number, you need to talk about his intent. He played an aggressive brand of cricket at the start. However, when he reached Delhi, the pitch was slightly slow, and I am unable to understand what happened.
“He was scoring at a run-a-ball. He has left captaincy, and he has been asked to express himself. We want to see that in the upcoming matches because he has gone into his shell slightly. I feel he has become a little timid in the last few innings. He played extremely slow in Delhi,” said Mohammed Kaif in the discussion with Star Sports.
