Delhi Capitals will have a few areas to plug at the IPL 2026 Auctions. Here, we take a look at the list of three released players Delhi Capitals can target in the IPL 2026 Auctions.
Last season, they started well but lost their way later. This time around, DC could want more experience in the middle-order while also trying to address their issues with their pacers.
1) Venkatesh Iyer
KKR has released Venkatesh Iyer before the IPL 2026 Auctions. While they could attempt to get him back, teams such as DC could also target him. DC is targeting more established Indian IPL cricketers, and Iyer fits the bill to have a role in the top order.
2) Matheesha Pathirana is one of the released players Delhi Capitals can target in IPL 2026 Auctions
Pathirana would be the ideal second pacer in the side. While Chameera has been retained, he is someone who can be expensive. Hence, Pathirana can be a good pick.
3) Andre Russell
The West Indian all-rounder has played for DC before. As a finisher and someone who offers balance with his presence, DC could go hard for Russell. He is just the right kind of cricketer who can add that experience for the side in the death overs.
