Internet Calls For Boycott Of Delhi Capitals As Bangladesh's Mustafizur Rahman Returns For IPL 2025

By our Special Correspondent

As the second leg of IPL 2025 gears up for resumption on May 17, the Delhi Capitals (DC) franchise has come under fire on social media. The team’s recent decision to bring in Bangladesh pacer Mustafizur Rahman as a replacement player has sparked backlash and triggered the #BoycottDelhiCapitals trend across platforms.

The controversy began after Delhi Capitals announced Mustafizur Rahman as a temporary replacement for Jake Fraser-McGurk, who is unavailable for the remainder of the season. The move comes in line with a new IPL rule that permits franchises to sign temporary replacements in cases of player unavailability.
