In the auction, Delhi Capitals made high bids on Jemimah Rodrigues and Shafali Verma, each exceeding 2CR, while they acquired Meg Lanning for 1.10 CR, Marizanne Kapp for 1.5CR, and Shikha Pandey for 60 lakhs. They utilized their expertise to their advantage as one of the three IPL teams involved, and shifted their focus to Shafali Verma in the Women Premier League after targeting U19 Men's captain Yash Dhull earlier in the IPL auction.
The captain of India's U-19 T20 World Cup-winning team in South Africa was Shafali Verma, who is also the opening partner of Mandhana in the national team and known for her destructive performance at the top of the order. Delhi Capitals made a strong effort to secure her through a winning bid, and her inclusion in the franchise from Rohtak, Haryana will provide a local touch.
