Delhi Capitals announce Sediqullah Atal as replacement for Harry Brook

In a major development for Delhi Capitals, the franchise took centre stage and announced Afghanistan’s 23-year-old opener Sediqullah Atal as the replacement for Harry Brook. It is worth noting that Brook pulled out of his IPL deal for the second consecutive year, and despite Brook pulling out of the tournament prior to the start of the competition, Delhi Capitals had yet to announce the replacement. 

However, with the side’s form declining



in their previous few games, they announced Atal as Brook’s replacement. He will join the DC camp for Rs. 1.25 crore, and will hope to make an impact in the team.

Atal caught the headlines after a brilliant knock against Australia in the Champions Trophy 2025. It is worth noting that Atal has played 49 T20s so far in his career where he has scored 1,507 runs to his name. He maintains an average of 34.25 runs and a strike rate of 131.27 as well.
