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.<\/p>\n
T. Natarajan<\/strong> remains Delhi Capitals\u2019 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\u2019s go-to option when defending totals.<\/p>\n Mitchell Starc<\/strong> adds world-class experience and pace to the death-bowling unit. While primarily effective with the new ball, Starc\u2019s ability to bowl wide yorkers and use variations allows DC to deploy him strategically in the final overs.<\/p>\n Lungi Ngidi<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n Dushmantha Chameera<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n Mukesh Kumar<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Delhi Capitals head into IPL 2026 with a pace attack that looks particularly strong in the death overs.
