Key Players to Watch for Dhaka Capitals
Litton Das
It is expected that experienced Bangladeshi wicketkeeper-batsman Liton Das will be at the helm for Dhaka Capitals during BPL 2024-25. His knack for calmness at the wicket, along with his versatility, has enabled him to perform in high-pressure situations consistently. The world over, he has played many T20 leagues and, as such, adds great value, offering both safety and aggression to the batting line-up. Has scored a whopping 4883 runs in 221 matches with 28 half-centuries and has a dependable strike rate of above 125. Not only has he proven to be an asset in anchoring the innings, but his ability to accelerate when needed makes him an invaluable asset for the Dhaka Capitals.
Saim Ayub
Saim Ayub, the young Pakistani emerging talent top-order batter, is probably one of the most potential-drenched players in T20 cricket today. Having a shorter career so far, Saim has already managed to prove his worth with consistent performances. He has scored an impressive 2297 runs in just 89 T20 matches, including 14 half-centuries, and an equally impressive strike rate, standing tall at 143. His fearless approach to batting at the top may be one of the most game-changing factors in available conditions. He also contributed with 13 wickets so far in this short career. He would be very much essential to Dhaka’s success this season in rolling some of the bowlers in the opposition under his game when it matters.
Johnson Charles
This fearless cricketer of the West Indies, Johnson Charles, has made his wealth available for the Dhaka Capitals in the way of T20 expertise and power-hitting credentials. Having played for the various T20 leagues around the world, Charles has been a consistent middle-order performer. At a whopping 7289 runs at 285 matches, including 4 centuries and 42 half-centuries, he has a proven ability to come up with the goods at important times. His strike rate of 133 and ability to clear boundaries will make him a key player for Dhaka.
Mustafizur Rahman
Mustafizur Rahman, popularly known as “The Fizz,” is one of the most effective T20 bowlers in world cricket. The left-arm pacer is renowned for his exceptional ability to deliver pinpoint yorkers and slower balls, especially during the death overs. With 338 wickets in 269 T20 matches, Mustafizur has been a matchwinner for every team he has represented. His four five-wicket hauls in T20 cricket highlight his knack for dismantling opposition line-ups. As a senior bowler in the Dhaka Capitals, his leadership and death-bowling skills will be critical in guiding the team to success.
