Jacob Andrew Duffy is a specialist right-arm fast-medium bowler and one of the most potent wicket-taking threats in the Delhi Capitals attack, competing internationally for New Zealand. Born on August 02, 1994 in Lumsden, Southland , Jacob has risen through the ranks to become a key figure in India's richest cricket franchise.
Bowling right-arm fast-medium, Jacob is capable of generating movement, extracting pace off the wicket and unsettling even the most established batters. Whether opening the bowling or coming into the attack with the old ball, Jacob thrives on the challenge of outsmarting batters and defending totals. In Delhi Capitals' setup, Jacob operates as a key tactical weapon — a bowler the captain turns to when pressure is highest and wickets are needed.
In the Indian Premier League, Jacob has established a reputation as one of the most reliable match-influencers in the competition, consistently delivering when it matters most for Delhi Capitals. Heading into IPL 2026, Jacob remains a cornerstone of Delhi Capitals' bowling plans — the kind of bowler who changes games and gives the team belief in every match.
