Still searching for a maiden title despite playing all three finals of the Women's Premier League, Delhi Capitals (DC) have retained their full quota of 5 players ahead of the 2026 mega-auction, but have made a shocking call by releasing Meg Lanning, the most decorated captain in cricket history. Lanning led the Capitals to the final in each of the three seasons but did not find a place in the five retentions. The Capitals used their overseas slots to keep hold of all-rounder Marizanne Kapp and Annabel Sutherland. However, DC have retained Jemimah Rodrigues and Shafali Verma, who won the Player of the Match (POTM) award in the Women's World Cup semi-final and final during India's recent historic triumph. Uncapped star Niki Prasad has been retained after leading India to the U-19 World Cup in 2025.
