Laura Wolvaardt Ignored? New DC Captain Announced
However, their headline purchase came later in the evening when they got South Africa’s white-ball skipper, Laura Wolvaardt, for INR 1.10 crore. With her current form and a World Cup performance that is regarded as one of the finest ever in women's cricket, this buy is widely viewed as exceptional value for the Capitals.
Jemimah Rodrigues to Become New DC Captain?
Wolvaardt is expected to step into Meg Lanning’s role at the top of the batting order, but despite her leadership experience, she will not be leading the side. Team owner Parth Jindal clarified that the Delhi Capitals intend to hand the captaincy to an Indian player for the 2026 season, and fans have already started anticipating Jemimah Rodrigues captaincy as a reliable option to be the skipper of DC-W for the 2026 season.
Parth Jindal said, “We are very clear that we will have an Indian captain, so depending on who else we land we already have our mind made up, but let's see. But Laura will add a lot of leadership into the dressing room.
