Punjab Kings are up against Delhi Capitals in a crucial game of IPL 2025 in Dharamsala, and with the playoffs race intensifying, both teams would be eager to grab two crucial points. Delhi Capitals after starting well, have lost steam in the last few games of their campaign, and thus, have made some crucial changes for the game against PBKS.

DC Unleash Seam-Bowling All-Rounder In Helpful Dharamsala Conditions

They have dropped Karun Nair and Vipraj Nigam. The decision to drop Vipraj Nigam is an interesting one as he has done well for them as an all-rounder, but with conditions assisting seam bowlers in Dharamsala, the franchise has decided to hand a debut to Madhav Tiwari.

Madhav Tiwari is a seam-bowling all-rounder from Madhya Pradesh and was bought for 40 Lakhs in the IPL 2025 mega auction by DC. In his brief career in the shortest format, Madhav has made his name as a hard-hitting batter and a handy pacer. He is known for his raw pace and powerful batting.

From Indore Streets To IPL Contract

He recently played in MP T20 league, and though he did not score a lot of runs, his strike-rate was over 200. He picked up three wickets as well, and this potential has helped him grab his maiden IPL contract.

He first came into limelight with his performance at the Under-15 and Under-18 level for Indore division. He also scored a double century in the U18 matches and emerged as the leading wicket-taker in the 2021-22 Senior Division MK Bhaya Trophy. Thus, Madhav Tiwari has shown the potential to be a match-winner with both bat and ball, and would be hoping to make a strong debut in IPL.
