WPL 2026 Mega Auction:
New Delhi, 6 November 2025 – Women’s Premier League ke sabse consistent team Delhi Capitals ne aaj apne mega auction strategy ka pehla bada step le liya hai. JSW-GMR co-owned franchise ne officially announce kiya ki unki core squad ab ready hai – Jemimah Rodrigues, Shafali Verma, Marizanne Kapp, Annabel Sutherland aur Niki Prasad ko retain kiya gaya hai. Ye paanch players ab DC ke future ka foundation banenge.
Delhi Capitals ab tak WPL ke teenon seasons mein final tak pahunchne wali akeli team hai, lekin har baar trophy haath se nikal gaya. Is baar management ne clear message diya hai – ab sirf final nahi, title jeetna hai.
Retained Players: Ek Strong Foundation:
- Jemimah Rodrigues:
- World Cup 2025 ki star performer. Semi-final aur final mein decisive knocks khelkar India ko champion banaya. Middle order mein stability aur big-match temperament – DC ke liye priceless.
2. Shafali Verma:
- Aggressive opener, powerplay destroyer. Sirf 20 saal ki umar mein already international cricket mein proven. Future captaincy material bhi maani jaati hai.
3. Marizanne Kapp:
- World ki top all-rounders mein se ek. Ball se swing, bat se power – har department mein game changer. Overseas players mein Kapp jaisi consistency kisi ke paas nahi.
4. Annabel Sutherland:
- Young Australian sensation. Tall, pacey, lower order mein sixes maar sakti hai aur death overs mein wickets nikaal sakti hai. Long-term investment.
5. Niki Prasad:
- Emerging Indian talent. Uncapped category se retain karke DC ne apna faith dikhaya hai. Bowling all-rounder jo spin aur pace dono kar sakti hai – perfect squad player.
Tough Goodbyes: Released Stars:
WPL 2026 Mega Auction:
Mega auction ka matlab hai tough decisions. DC ne apne 13 players ko release kar diya, jismein kuchh bade naam bhi shamil hain:
- Meg Lanning (Former Captain) – Teen seasons tak leadership di, lekin ab nayi shuruaat
- Alice Capsey – Young English dynamite, auction mein badi bidding hogi
- Jess Jonassen – World-class spinner, RCB ya MI jaa sakti hai
