WPL 2026: Top 3 Players Delhi Capitals Must Target in the WPL Mega Auction

Although they have not won a single Women's Premier League title, the Delhi Capitals have consistently been the most successful team in the tournament's three editions to date. Under the captaincy of Meg Lannings, the team played 27 games and won 17 times.  They have been part of all the finals of the tournament, but sadly, they end up on the losing side. 
By releasing their reliable Aussie captain, Meg Lanning, this came as a surprise for many. 

However, it gave a robust indication that the team is going for major restructuring through the upcoming first-ever WPL mega-auction. Here, we examine the top three players who should be under the runner-up radar for the 2026 WPL edition.

Delhi Capitals Women's 2026 WPL Retained Players: Jemimah Rodriguez, Shafali Varma, Annabel Sutherland, Niki Prasad

1. Laura Wolvaardt

Laura Wolvaardt rose to prominence for her impeccable captaincy for the South Africa Women's side, where she led the team to the Women's World Cup final as the runners-up. In addition, she had the highest run getter of the tournament, citing her batting calibre.

With her captaincy and batting skills, the Delhi Capitals can target her as a formidable captain option. Her WPL stats comprise 342 runs made in just 13 matches, with a strike rate of over 130.
