The Delhi Capitals (DC) have been a mainstay in the Indian Premier League (IPL) since its inception in 2008. Despite coming close a few times, the franchise has never lifted the coveted IPL trophy. In IPL 2025, DC finished fifth, narrowly missing out on a playoff spot. With the 2026 season on the horizon, the team is expected to regroup and fine-tune its squad. Here, let us take a look at five players DC might consider releasing ahead of the next IPL auction.
The left-arm pacer T Natarajan could be one of the players DC decides to release. In IPL 2025, he featured in only two matches. With Mitchell Starc already in the squad, another left-arm bowler could be redundant in the playing XI. While Natarajan brings valuable IPL experience, his opportunities in the franchise are likely to remain limited, making him a potential candidate for release.
