Delhi Capitals finished third in 2019 under the leadership of Shreyas Iyer and in 2020 made it to their maiden IPL final where they lost to Mumbai Indians. The Delhi Capitals showered a good amount of their purse to buy young Indian talent in the first session of Day 2 at the mega auction.
They capped the U-19 World Cup-winning captain, Yash Dhull for 50 lakhs. There was not much bidding over the base price of 20 lakhs for Dhull as Delhi got him easy. He is a product of the Delhi Capitals academy.
On the other hand, T20 World Cup Winning squad member, David Warner found his way into the Delhi Squad as their first buy in the Mega Auction for 6.25 Cr. All-Rounder Shadul Thakur was snatched from Chennai Super Kings for a whopping 10.75 Cr.
