Conclusion

Overall, it has been a good auction for Delhi Capitals, but not their best because they couldn't get their first-choice preferences for WPL 2026. Thankfully, they had a strong core which they retained for WPL 2026, which makes their squad looks good.

However, if we compare DC's squad from WPL 2025, then it looks a bit weak on paper and Capitals might not have the same impact as the previous three editions, where they ended up as a the runners-up.
