Rehan Ahmed has been signed by Delhi Capitals as a replacement player for Ben Duckett in the ongoing IPL 2026. Rehan recently played in the T20 World Cup, scoring 19 runs and taking two wickets in a Super 8 match against Sri Lanka. This will be Rehan’s debut in the IPL, although he has previously played in the Hundred, ILT20, and the Big Bash League.
Rehan, a 21-year-old multi-format player for the English national team, has 27 caps to his name. Duckett, who was bought by Delhi Capitals for Rs. 2 crore in the auction, decided to withdraw from the tournament to focus on his England career. He apologized to the Delhi Capitals franchise for his decision.
The addition of Rehan Ahmed will bring a fresh perspective and talent to the Delhi Capitals team. His recent performances in the T20 World Cup have shown his ability to contribute with both bat and ball. Fans will be eager to see how he adapts to the challenges of the IPL and how he can help his team achieve success in the tournament.
