Who are the 3 leading Delhi Capitals women players that are likely to be retained by their outfit ahead of the WPL 2026 auction. If that is a question that's been bothering, then we could tell that you've
come to the right place for just, simple and stat-packed answers, in some cases, at least. That being said, which 3 remarkable women's cricketers could we likely see again taking the ground for the same, attacking and mesmerising Delhi?
There are several clues but the biggest clue, since we are talking on the lines of immedeacy, is that one of the 3 players happens to be a great leader of the sport and someone who commands as much respect as wealth of appreciation. She is a mega star, an icon and a harmlessly quiet girl. But who are the other two and why could they be the 3 players Delhi Captials women are likely to retain ahead of WPL 2026:
Meg Lanning

The great Meg Lanning herself. That alone is a reason big enough for Delhi Capitals to retain someone who, lest it is forgotten, is a bonafide legend and may that stay that way.
Lanning from Australia delights with the world and the person famously hailed as the "Mega Star" hardly conducts herself like one.
Her batting, especially for DC, echoes her easy going and silently observant personality.
And that makes the terific top order bat a bit if a legend! This iconic 'overseas' category player will always add. a lot to the team that she goes for. Let's hope she stays home.
Shafali Verma

Not retaining the big hitting and fearless Shafali Verma ahead of the next IPL season's auction where it comes to 2026 could come in poorly for the famed Delhi Capitals side. Why? Well, for starters- it's Shafali Verma one is talking about. Here is an in-form player who has suddenly risen in her game and craft and hit a great fifty in the final of the CWC 2025. The aggressive opener has a likely slab of INR 2.5 cr and will certainly do her best, once again, for Delhi.
Jemimah Rodrigues

Why would you think of letting someone pouch a batter, a purist and someone whose heart beats for the game like Jemimah Rodrigues? Rodrigues hit a stunning century, and an attacking one at that when it most mattered for her nation, and that too, versus a humungous foe like Australia.
Moreover, for Delhi Capitals, Rodrigues's silky stroke play entertains and generates awe- does it not?
The noted and now, even more respected middle order batter is someone who lends great solidity to the famous DC batting order and that alone is a reason solid enough for Rodrigues to not stay back- as far as her team goes- with Delhi Capitals. Plus, her naturally positive and always eager-to-selflessly-contribute way of being makes her one of a kind, isn't it?
