Mukesh Kumar, the right-arm fast bowler from Bengal, continues to be a crucial part of Delhi Capitals’ pace attack in IPL 2025. Bought for ₹8 crore in the IPL 2025 Mega Auction, Mukesh has consistently delivered with his sharp yorkers and clever variations, especially in the death overs. Since joining DC in 2023, he has grown into a reliable wicket-taker and was instrumental in DC’s campaign last season, picking up 17 wickets in 10 matches during IPL 2024.
When it comes to his record against Rajasthan Royals, Mukesh Kumar has shown excellent control and effectiveness. In 3 matches, he has taken 5 wickets, with best figures of 2/30 and an average of 23.00, while maintaining an economy rate of 10.45. His most impactful spell came in IPL 2023 where he removed both Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jos Buttler, showing his ability to strike early.
