Delhi Capitals have ensured a strong spin-bowling core for IPL 2026, blending experience, control and wicket-taking ability. With quality options to operate through the middle overs, DC’s spin attack is expected to play a key role across different conditions.
Kuldeep Yadav remains the leader of Delhi Capitals’ spin department. The left-arm wrist-spinner is known for his ability to turn the ball sharply and pick up wickets in the middle overs. Kuldeep’s variations and attacking mindset make him DC’s primary spin weapon.
Axar Patel provides control and balance with his left-arm orthodox spin. Renowned for his accuracy and ability to bowl tight overs, Axar plays a crucial role in restricting run flow while also chipping in with key wickets.
Nitish Rana offers part-time spin support. While primarily a batter, his off-spin gives DC flexibility when managing overs and match-ups, especially against left-handed batters.
Tripurana Vijay adds domestic spin depth to the squad. Though still developing at the IPL level, he provides an additional option when conditions favour spin.
With Kuldeep Yadav spearheading the attack and reliable support from Axar Patel, Delhi Capitals enter IPL 2026 with a spin unit capable of controlling games during the crucial middle overs.
