Delhi Capitals head into IPL 2026 with a pace attack that looks particularly strong in the death overs. With multiple bowlers experienced in closing out innings under pressure, DC appear well prepared for high-stakes finishes.
T. Natarajan remains Delhi Capitals’ most reliable death-over specialist. Known for his pinpoint yorkers and composure in crunch moments, Natarajan has consistently delivered in overs 16 to 20, making him DC’s go-to option when defending totals.
Mitchell Starc adds world-class experience and pace to the death-bowling unit. While primarily effective with the new ball, Starc’s ability to bowl wide yorkers and use variations allows DC to deploy him strategically in the final overs.
Lungi Ngidi provides a strong middle-to-death overs option. His hard-length bowling and ability to extract bounce can trouble set batters looking to accelerate late in the innings.
Dushmantha Chameera brings raw speed and attacking intent. Capable of hitting high speeds, Chameera offers wicket-taking potential at the death, especially when batters are forced to take risks.
Mukesh Kumar adds control and discipline as a supporting option. His ability to stick to plans and maintain tight lines makes him useful when DC need to restrict runs rather than chase wickets.
With Natarajan leading the unit and strong support from Starc, Ngidi and Chameera, Delhi Capitals enter IPL 2026 with a death-bowling attack capable of defending totals and finishing games under pressure.
