3 Delhi Capitals players who might be benched in IPL 2026
This year, DC have kept hold of their main core whilst making some good additions to their squad which include David Miller and Lungi Ngidi.
1. Prithvi Shaw (Top order Batter)
After going unsold in the 2025 mega auction, Prithvi Shaw has been granted yet another lifeline by DC, picking him up towards the end of the mini auction for his base price of INR 75 lakhs. Earlier, he was DC’s main opener.
Things are, however, a lot different coming into the 2026 IPL season. The team now has a strong opening pair in the form of KL Rahul and Pathum Nissanka. The 26-year-old will also face the same issue as Nair in order to break into the middle order.
Shaw’s recent domestic form has also blown hot and cold. The right-hander scored 183 runs in seven games in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy for Maharashtra at an average of just 26.14.
