With Meg Lanning roped in by UP Warriorz during last month\u2019s mega auction, Jemimah is a front-runner to be DC\u2019s captain in WPL 2026, especially with team owner Parth Jindal stating that an Indian player will be made the side\u2019s skipper. Jemimah had been the vice-captain when Meg captained DC to the WPL finals thrice.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cBetween Marizanne Kapp and Annabel Sutherland, you already have eight quality overs. We\u2019ve spoken about Nandini Sharma; she can be the third bowling option. DC have two excellent spinners in Sneh Rana and Shree Charani, and Chinelle Henry adds strong fast-bowling support.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWith their overseas players, they can easily get ten overs, if not twelve. If Nandini Sharma plays, she gives them even more pace-bowling depth. Their spin attack is already impressive.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cBut the most interesting aspect is how Jemimah Rodrigues captains this side. We\u2019ve seen her flourish as a player and as a strong team personality, but this is her first time leading a successful franchise. It\u2019s a big elevation and will be fascinating to watch,\u201d said Chopra on JioStar.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Saba Karim, the former India wicketkeeper-batter and national selector, believes that with the new additions DC have got, they should cross the line if they manage to enter the final, to be played on February 5 at Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cFor Delhi Capitals, the auction has never been the issue; it is about how they finish the tournament. Despite having match-winners in the line-up, for some inexplicable reason, they haven\u2019t been able to cross the line in key knockout moments. Can they do it this time? They had a purse of 5.7 crore and worked very intelligently.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cThey clearly want players who can finish games for them, which is why someone like Sneh Rana at No. 8 or 9 becomes important. So, while finishing has been an issue for DC, they have done some sharp work at the auction table,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
