DC IPL 2026 Squad: Unlike the previous mega auction, the IPL 2026 auction was a mini version and will not include features like the Right-to-Match card. Players had base prices ranging from ₹40 lakh to ₹2 crore, and overseas players will have a salary cap of ₹18 crore, which is the highest retention amount. Any bid above this limit goes to the BCCI’s player development program, making spending more controlled this season.
The 2025 season was the 18th campaign for Delhi Capitals in the Indian Premier League. The team had finished 6th in the league stage of the previous season. Ahead of the season, Axar Patel was named as the new captain. Delhi Capitals ended the 2025 season in 5th place with 15 points from 14 matches.
The franchise headed into the IPL 2026 mini auction with a remaining purse of ₹21.80 crore and eight slots to fill, including five overseas slots. They have retained 17 players, with Axar Patel continuing as captain alongside key names such as KL Rahul, Kuldeep Yadav, and Mitchell Starc.
Other retained players include Tristan Stubbs, Abhishek Porel, Sameer Rizvi, Karun Nair, Ashutosh Sharma, Mukesh Kumar, T. Natarajan, Dushmantha Chameera, and several young domestic prospects. The team traded in Nitish Rana and released players like Faf du Plessis, Mohit Sharma, and Jake Fraser-McGurk, leaving them with a healthy purse.
