Delhi Capitals made headlines at the IPL 2026 mini auction by splurging ₹8.40 crore on uncapped Jammu and Kashmir pacer Auqib Dar, who had a base price of INR 30 lakh. They outbid RR and RCB to secure his services. The team also acquired South African veteran David Miller for INR 2 crore and wicketkeeper-batter Ben Duckett for the same amount. Miller, with his vast IPL experience and impressive stats, was praised by former cricketer Anil Kumble for adding much-needed experience to the DC squad.
DC also traded in Nitish Rana from RR and retained a strong core of players including Abishek Porel, Ashutosh Sharma, and KL Rahul. The full list of players acquired by DC includes Auqib Dar, Ben Duckett, David Miller, Pathum Nissanka, Lungi Ngidi, Kyle Jamieson, Prithvi Shaw, and Sahil Parakh. The retained players also feature key names like Mitchell Starc, T Natarajan, and Tristan Stubbs. The addition of experienced players like Miller and the retention of talented individuals bode well for Delhi Capitals in the upcoming season.
