DC acquired South African star David Miller for his base price of ₹2 crore, with no competition for his services, being the first team to pick a player on the day.

Delhi Capitals (DC), with a purse of ₹21.8 crore, entered the IPL 2026 mini-auction ready to strengthen their squad. They made an early move, being the first franchise to pick a player in the auction. DC acquired South African star David Miller for his base price of ₹2 crore, with no competition for his services. 

 

Similarly, England opener Ben Duckett was secured for ₹2 crore. The franchise made a significant investment in Jammu and Kashmir all-rounder, Auqib Nabi Dar, after a bidding war with Rajasthan Royals, Royal Challengers Bangalore, and Sunrisers Hyderabad. Nabi, who has been in stellar form in domestic cricket, was bought for ₹30 lakh.

 

 

In addition to Nabi, DC also signed Sri Lanka's Pathum Nissanka and South Africa's Lungi Ngidi. Nabi’s domestic performances have been impressive, with 29 wickets in five Ranji Trophy matches and 15 wickets in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. With these acquisitions, DC looks to enhance their squad and make a strong push in the IPL 2026 season.
