Delhi Capitals
Delhi Capitals enter 2026 under Axar Patel's captaincy after Rishabh Pant's ₹27cr move to LSG. Built around Jake Fraser-McGurk's explosive opening and the Axar-Kuldeep spin duo, DC have the pieces to contend. The Kotla's spin-friendly surface makes them particularly dangerous at home.
