Delhi Capitals WPL 2027 Squad: Full Players List, Auction Buys, and Retentions

Delhi Capitals completed their squad for the Women’s Premier League (WPL) 2027 at the player auction held on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, at the Grand Hyatt Kochi. The auction began at 5:30 PM IST, as franchises worked to fill their remaining places for the upcoming season. Delhi entered the event with 13 players already in its squad and a limited amount of money available for new signings. The team needed to make careful choices to complete its group within the remaining purse. By the end of the auction, four new players had joined the franchise.

Before the auction, Delhi Capitals had spent ₹13.90 crore and had ₹1.10 crore left to use. The team had five available squad slots, including one place for an overseas player. Delhi signed four players during the auction and increased its squad size from 13 to 17. The four purchases cost ₹1.05 crore altogether, leaving ₹5 lakh unused. The number of overseas players also rose from five to six. With no squad slots or overseas slots remaining after the auction, Delhi completed its group for WPL 2027.

Delhi Capitals WPL 2027 Auction Summary

The figures show how Delhi Capitals used most of its available budget to finish its squad. Before the auction, the franchise had ₹1.10 crore remaining after spending ₹13.90 crore. Its four new signings cost ₹1.05 crore, taking the total amount spent to ₹14.95 crore. That left ₹5 lakh in the purse after the auction was complete. The team also moved from 13 players to 17, while its overseas count increased from five to six. Delhi had five available squad places before the auction and finished with none remaining.

The change in the squad numbers also shows the exact scale of the auction work completed by the franchise. Delhi began with 13 players and had five places available, but it signed four players rather than using every listed slot as a separate purchase. After those signings, the final squad stood at 17 players. The overseas count changed by one, moving from five before the auction to six afterwards, while the overseas slot count fell from one to zero. The financial figures follow the same pattern: the remaining purse was ₹1.10 crore before the auction, and the four signings used ₹1.05 crore of that amount. The final balance was ₹5 lakh, shown in the summary as ₹0.05 crore. These figures give a clear picture of the team’s position before and after the event.

Delhi Capitals Players Bought at Auction

Kiran Navgire was Delhi Capitals’ highest-priced signing, joining the franchise for ₹75 lakh. The Indian batter was the biggest purchase among the four players selected by the team. Delhi also signed Scotland’s Kirstie Gordon for ₹10 lakh, adding a bowler to its squad. Uma Kashvi and Nazma Khan were the other two additions, with both all-rounders bought for ₹10 lakh each. Together, the four signings cost ₹1.05 crore, within the ₹1.10 crore available before the auction. These purchases completed the squad and left the franchise with ₹5 lakh in its purse.

The four purchases also make up a clear part of the final squad list. Navgire was the only player bought for ₹75 lakh, while Gordon, Kashvi and Khan each cost ₹10 lakh. Their listed roles are different: Navgire is a batter, Gordon is a bowler, and Kashvi and Khan are all-rounders. Gordon is listed as being from Scotland, while the other three purchases are from India. Together, these details account for all four auction additions and the full ₹1.05 crore spent on them. The final squad list includes these four names alongside the 13 retained players. The released-player list records six names, while the retained-player list records 13, and the final squad list contains 17 names.
