Shree Charani has returned to Delhi Capitals after the franchise secured her for INR 1.3 crore in the WPL 2026 auction. The bidding for the India all-rounder escalated quickly, with DC showing strong intent to bring her back into their squad.
Charani has been one of India’s most consistent young performers, averaging 14.80 in T20Is, and played a crucial role in India’s 2025 ODI World Cup–winning campaign, where her aggressive lower-order batting and sharp fielding added immense value.
Ahead of the auction, Charani was expected to attract solid interest due to her growth over the past year and her utility as a multi-dimensional cricketer. Delhi Capitals ultimately closed the deal and brought her back into their lineup for the upcoming season.
