Delhi Capital squad for IPL 2026: DC Full List of Players: In IPL 2025, the Delhi Capitals team played under the captaincy of Axar Patel. In the previous season, the team managed to win 7 out of 14 matches.
Delhi Capitals had a purse of ₹21.6 crore remaining for the IPL 2026 mini-auction. Their first purchase in the auction was David Miller, whom they acquired at his base price. The South African finisher was bought by DC for ₹2 crore. In addition, Delhi Capitals also bought England's wicketkeeper-batsman Ben Duckett. With these signings, the Delhi team also managed to find a suitable opening partner for KL Rahul.
Delhi spent over ₹8 crore on Aqib Nabi:
In this mini-auction, Delhi Capitals spent the most money on Jammu and Kashmir player Aqib Nabi. Delhi bought the player for ₹8.4 crore. They also acquired Sri Lanka's Pathum Nissanka for ₹4 crore, Lungi Ngidi for ₹2 crore, and Sahil Parekh for ₹30 lakh.
After Aqib Nabi, they spent the most on Nissanka. It will be interesting to see how the Delhi team performs with these players in the upcoming season.
Delhi Capitals have only reached the IPL final once:
This time, the Delhi franchise came to the auction table with ₹21.8 crore and needed to fill 8 slots, including buying 5 overseas players. Before the auction, Delhi Capitals traded for Nitish Rana, which is considered a brilliant move.
They acquired the in-form Nitish Rana for ₹4.2 crore. The Delhi team has not yet won a single title. Therefore, they will try their best to win the title this season with these players. In these 18 years, the team has only reached the final once, in 2020, under the captaincy of Shreyas Iyer.
