Openers DC Can Target in IPL 2026

Delhi Capitals need a new opener alongside KL Rahul after releasing Faf du Plessis and Jake Fraser-McGurk. Here are four solid options they can eye at the IPL 2026 auction.

4. Tim Seifert

Seifert was released by RCB without playing a match but has an excellent T20I record as an opener. His attacking style can give DC fast starts in the powerplay.

3. Quinton de Kock

The South Africa star was released by KKR after a quiet season, but his experience and proven record as an opener make him a strong candidate for DC.

2. Rachin Ravindra

Also released by CSK, Rachin has opened before and enjoyed success, especially in IPL 2024. His ability to rotate strike and play smart shots makes him a reliable option.

1. Devon Conway

Released by CSK, Conway brings stability at the top. He isn’t ultra-aggressive but keeps the scoreboard moving and helps maintain a left-right opening combination.

DC’s Opening Options for 2026

With limited choices in the mini-auction, Conway, Rachin, de Kock, and Seifert stand out as strong contenders to partner KL Rahul at the top for DC in IPL 2026.
