IPL 2026: Top 3 DC bowlers to watch out for

The Delhi Capitals (DC) possess some quality bowlers in their ranks heading into the 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL) season. Some of these bowlers are in excellent form coming into the showpiece tournament, which would make DC fans fill to the brim with excitement as they chase their maiden title. 

DC’s bowlers went slightly unnoticed at the 2025 IPL season. They, however, did have decent seasons which eventually helped the side from the capital city come within a whisker of qualifying for the playoffs as they missed by just one point. 

The Axar Patel-led side have strengthened their bowling unit in the most recent mini auction, giving them a genuine chance of breaking into the top four. 

Here are the top three bowlers to watch out for from the DC squad:

3. Lungisani Ngidi - Right arm Fast medium

Lungisani Ngidi is one of the most in-form overseas bowlers to come into the 2026 IPL season. The South African was his side’s best pacer at the recently-concluded T20 World Cup, where he took 12 wickets from seven matches at an economy rate of just 7.19.

DC have made a shrewd singing when it comes to Ngidi, picking him up at the mini auction at his base price of INR 2 crore. 

The 29-year-old formed part of the RCB side which won the IPL title in 2025. The pacer, however, played only two games for the eventual champions, taking four wickets along the way.
