DC Full Squad, IPL 2026 : Complete List Of Players Bought By Delhi Capitals

DC Full Squad, IPL 2026: With a purse value of Rs 21.8 crore, Delhi Capitals entered the mini-auction with a bit of work to do. The side was the first franchise to pick a player in the bidding war in Abu Dhabi on December 16. DC bought South African star David Miller for his base price of Rs 2 crore after facing no competition. The same was the case when the side picked England opener Ben Duckett for Rs 2 crore. DC splurged a huge sum for Jammu and Kashmir all-rounder Auqib Nabi Dar. (Full List Of Sold, Unsold Players | IPL 2026 Auction Highlights)

Auqib had a base price of Rs 30 lakh. Both Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals were engaged in the bidding war for the player. Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Sunrisers Hyderabad too joined the battle, but DC turned out to be the eventual winner.

The seam-bowling all-rounder from Jammu and Kashmir has emerged as one of India's most consistent performers in domestic cricket. In the first half of the Ranji Trophy, Nabi has taken 29 wickets in five matches at an average of 13.27, including a best haul of 7 for 24.

Nabi's white-ball form has been equally impressive. In the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, he claimed 15 wickets in seven matches at an economy of 7.41.

In another major pick, DC secured the services of Prithvi Shaw. The right-handed batter, who went unsold last year, was also ignored twice by the franchises on December 16 before DC roped him on the third attempt for his base price of Rs 75 lakh.

The franchise also bought Sri Lanka's Pathum Nissanka and South Africa's Lungi Ngidi.
