WPL Auction LIVE: Delhi Capitals is based out of New Delhi and owned by GMR Group and JSW Group. The team is coached by Jonathan Batty, an English former first-class cricketer who played for Surrey and Gloucestershire.
Capitals claimed a runner-up finish at the last edition of the WPL, hence they retained almost the full core squad of that season. The Delhi side led by former Australian captain Meg Lanning wants to build a solid squad to go one step better than what they had last time in this tournament.
The team was quite clinical in the first season with superb performances from the likes of Lanning, Jemimah Rodrigues, and Shafali Verma.
Delhi Capitals went into the auction with the least amount of slots as they need only 3 players and have a perfect budget of 2.25 crore INR for that. They caught All-rounder Annabel Sutherland for whooping 2 Crores to fill their overseas squad.
