With their current squad, Delhi Capitals will look to address specific areas of need during the WPL 2025 auction. Let’s take a look at five players that Delhi Capitals could target in the auction.
Sneh Rana
Delhi Capitals could look to strengthen their spin department by targeting Sneh Rana in the WPL 2025 auction. Released by Gujarat Giants, Rana has set his base price at INR 30 lakhs. As an experienced and versatile Indian spinner, she could be a valuable addition to complement the existing pairing of Radha Yadav and Jess Jonassen.
Her ability to perform on Indian courts and deliver match-winning spells makes her an ideal option for the DC team. Adding Rana would not only bolster their spin attack but also provide crucial depth, improving their chances in the upcoming season.
Deandra Dottin
Deandra Dottin, who has registered for the WPL 2025 auction with a base price of INR 50 lakh, could be a strong contender for Delhi Capitals. Despite not selling out last year, his impressive performance in the WBBL 2024, where he scored 148 runs and took 10 wickets in 11 matches, underlines his all-round capabilities.
As a versatile overseas player, Dottin can play the role of a batting finisher while also contributing with the ball. Her addition would complement Marizanne Kapp and provide much-needed depth in both departments, making her a valuable asset for DC.
Nuzhat Parveen
Nuzhat Parween was registered for INR 30 lakhs in the WPL 2025 auction, providing an opportunity for Delhi Capitals to strengthen their wicket-keeping options. With Taniya Bhatia as the team’s only specialist goalkeeper, Delhi may look to secure a reliable backup during the auction.
Despite her limited international exposure, with just five T20Is, Nuzhat’s skills make her a viable candidate. Adding her to the team would improve depth in the wicketkeeping department, giving Delhi better team balance and flexibility throughout the season.

alana rey
Alana King has registered for the WPL 2025 auction with a base price of INR 30 lakh. While she did not sell at the 2024 auction, her recent performances reaffirm her status as one of the best spinners in the world. In the 2024 WBBL, she emerged as the top bowler, taking 20 wickets in 10 matches and contributed 105 runs as a lower-order batsman.
For Delhi Capitals, who currently have Jess Jonassen as their only reliable overseas spinner and Alice Capsey to provide part-time spin, King could bring much-needed depth to their spin department.
Anshu Nagar
Delhi may look to strengthen their team by adding a left-arm pacer as all their current fast bowlers are right-arm medium pacers. This could provide them with much-needed variety, especially on power plays. A promising young talent is 13-year-old Anshu Nagar, with a base price of INR 10 lakhs, who has impressed with his pace and skill. As a left-arm pacer, he has the ability to move the ball and bowl it towards the right-handed batsmen, making him a potential threat early on.
If Delhi Capitals target Anshu Nagar in the WPL 2025 auction, she could prove to be a valuable asset for their team. Given his vast capabilities at such a young age, he could make an immediate impact and bring new dynamism to their bowling attack.
