The IPL 2026 Mini Auction is coming soon, and fans are excited to know which players Delhi Capitals (DC) will trade, retain, or release. Over the years, DC has been one of the most followed franchises, with some big names becoming the face of the team.

Delhi Capitals: Purse Details

Category	Details
Purse Spent	119.80 Cr
Purse Left	0.20 Cr
Players Bought	23 / 25
Overseas Buys	7 / 8

DC Likely Trade Players 2026 List

Shimron Hetmyer – The West Indies power-hitter who has been in form in MLC 2025.
Moeen Ali – The England all-rounder who provides batting depth and handy off-spin.
Rasikh Salam – A former DC player who could bring left-arm pace balance.
Will Jacks – Might be considered in a swap deal with players like Vipraj Nigam or Ashutosh Sharma.
KL Rahul – Speculations suggest he could move to KKR, though nothing is confirmed.

DC Likely Retained Players 2026 List

Axar Patel – All-rounder
Kuldeep Yadav – Spinner
Tristan Stubbs – Middle-order finisher
Abishek Porel – Wicketkeeper-batter
KL Rahul – Top-order batter
Jake Fraser-McGurk – Aggressive opener
Mitchell Starc – Left-arm fast bowler
T Natarajan – Left-arm pacer
Mohit Sharma – Seamer

DC Likely Released Players 2026 List

Some players are expected to be released to free up budget and squad space:

Dushmantha Chameera – Struggled with economy and consistency.
Mohit Sharma – Expensive spells with little impact.
T Natarajan – Faced fitness problems and played limited games.
Faf du Plessis – A veteran overseas player with reduced returns.
Others: Tripurana Vijay, Manvanth Kumar, Madhav Tiwari, Darshan Nalkande.

Why the Trade Window is Important for DC?

Delhi Capitals had a well-balanced squad in 2025 with a good mix of batting, spin, and pace. The 2026 season will depend heavily on three key decisions:

Retentions: Secure the core and manage the purse.
Releases: Free up budget for specific roles.
Trades: Fill weak spots without relying completely on the auction.

Delhi Capitals Auction Strategy 2026

Going into the mini auction, DC’s focus will likely be:

Adding an Indian death-over bowler to support Natarajan.
Finding an Indian opener who can attack in the powerplay alongside JFM.
Bringing in a middle-order right-hander who can play spin well.
