Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 It has been anything less routine. After a suspension of the week due to the growing India-Pakistan The tensions, the tournament will resume on May 17 with a revised calendar and a large amount of controversy. In the center of the last storm is the Delhi capitals (DC) Franchise, which faces a fierce reaction to social media after his decision to sign Bangladesh cummer Mustafizur Rahman As a replacement of the Australian workshop Jake Fraser-Mcgurk. The movement has led to the trend of #Boycottdelhicapital, with fans accusing the franchise of bad judgment and even questioning their patriotism.
Fans broke out for the outrage over the signature of Mustafizur Rahman in DC
The announcement of Mustafizur’s signing was intended for a strategic movement for the fall of DC bowling after losing the Fraser-Mcgurk explosive. However, the decision was quickly reduced. Many fans, already sensitive to the geopolitical climate and the recent cross -border hostilities, came to X (before Twitter) to avoid their anger. The hashtag #boycottdelhicapitals reached the top of the tendency lists, with users who label the franchise as “dehdrohi team” and demanded a ban on Bangladesh players in the IPL.
Some social media publications accused the franchise of ignoring the situation of minorities in Bangladesh and referred to broader feelings, further nourishing the outrage. The setback aggravated when Mustafizur himself stated that he would not join DC, choosing instead of representing Bangladesh in a series against Uaeleaving the franchise in an uncomfortable position. This sequence of events only intensified criticism, and fans questioned both the calendar and the wisdom of the decision.
DC 2025 Playoff Playoff rating hangs in equilibrium
Despite the drama out of the field, Delhi Capital firmly hunting a playoff site. With 13 points from 11 games (6 wins, 4 losses, 1 non-result), DC is currently in the fifth place in the point table, needing at least two victories of his three league games remaining to solidify his Playoff possibilities. The boost of the team’s season has been reduced and the loss of a key player like Fraser-Mcgurk combined with the bankrupt replacement saga as the league resumes.
The BCCI’s decision to allow temporary signings abroad for the rest of the season aimed to help franchises face the player’s unavailability due to the national commitments and the unique interruptions of this IPL season. However, the episode of DC-Mustafizur emphasized the complexities and sensitivities involved in these movements, especially when geopolitics and cricket collide.

This is how fans react:
The time has come for Bangla desh to be treated just like Pakistan. Bangladesh players should not be authorized at IPL.
Hundreds of Hindu are killed, thousands were homeless: did these players ever spoke of them? In fact, most of them supported the massacre in silence.

Now I wish DC not to qualify for the playoffs. All collective abuse #Sanjivgoenka To be bad, but at least he did not do it for Bangladesh. As Delhi has built a lot of fanbase from Bangladesh in ten years, @Thejswgroup And the GMR group can enjoy with them #Boycottdelhicapitals

While all the other IPL teams showed integrity by boycotting Bangladesh players, Delhi Capitals blackened to sign Mustafizur Rahman.
This franchise has a zero respect for the national feeling. No spine, without pride.#Boycottdelhicapitals
