2026 WPL Auction: DC Are Very Clear In Going With An Indian Captain For The Season, Says Jindal
ODI World Cup: Delhi Capitals co-owner Parth Jindal said the franchise was ‘very clear’ about going with an Indian captain for the upcoming WPL season. At the ongoing mega auction, DC bolstered their squad with key signings of Laura Wolvaardt, Chinelle Henry, Sneh Rana, Lizelle Lee and young Deeya Yadav, while buying back left-arm spinner N Sree Charani.
“No, no, not at all. I think we are very clear that we would like to have an Indian as the captain. So, depending on who else we land, we already have our mind made up. But let's see what happens, but I mean Laura will add a lot of leadership into the dressing room. But we are clear that we want to go with an Indian captain,” said Jindal in the press conference.
Getting Laura in meant that DC could look at her as the captain after Meg Lanning went to UP Warriorz, but now they could look at having India batter Jemimah Rodrigues as the skipper. Laura will also fill in as the opener alongside the explosive Shafali Verma.
