Chasing their first title
Despite an appearance in the final in 2020, a title has eluded the franchise ever since the inception of the tournament. In 2023, Delhi Capitals became one of the five founding teams to participate in the Women’s Premier League. The team has reached the final in all four editions of the tournament so far, finishing as runners-up each time.
The current squad under the captaincy of Axar Patel will seek to end the trophy drought it has endured over the years. With the experience of players such as KL Rahul, Mitchell Starc, David Miller and Kuldeep Yadav, the Capitals have what it takes to go all the way.
Delhi Capitals squad for IPL 2026: Nitish Rana, Abishek Porel, Ajay Mandal, Ashutosh Sharma, Axar Patel, Dushmantha Chameera, Karun Nair, KL Rahul, Kuldeep Yadav, Madhav Tiwari, Mitchell Starc, Sameer Rizvi, T Natarajan, Tripurana Vijay, Tristan Stubbs, Vipraj Nigam, David Miller, Ben Duckett, Auqib Nabi, Pathum Nissanka, Lungi Ngidi, Sahil Parakh, Prithvi Shaw, Kyle Jamieson.
