Abadi Al Johar Arena: Former South Africa captain Faf du Plessis was signed by Delhi Capitals at a base price of Rs 2 crore on the second day of the IPL 2025 Auction here at the Abadi Al Johar Arena in Jeddah on Monday.
Delhi faced no hindrance from any team and claimed the attacking opener at his base price to bolster their department for the IPL 2025 season and beyond. Royal Challengers Bengaluru opted against using the Right to Match (RTM) option for their former player.
The other notable purchase in the set 13 of capped batters was West Indies batter Rovman Powell, who was acquired by Kolkata Knight Riders for Rs 1.5 crore (base price). Powell became the first purchase of the day after New Zealand batters Kane Williamson and Glenn Phillips went unsold.
