New Delhi, Nov 28: India spinner Sree Charani expressed her joy after being signed by Delhi Capitals for ₹1.3 crore during the WPL 2026 auction held on Thursday.

Charani made her debut in the WPL with Delhi Capitals in 2025, having been acquired for ₹55 lakh in the previous year's auction.

"Before the auction, I was just hoping to play in WPL this season with any team. But I am very happy to be back with Delhi Capitals. It feels like home and I love playing for this team,” she shared on JioHotstar.

Reflecting on her return to Delhi Capitals, the 21-year-old stated, "I feel very proud to be part of Delhi Capitals again. This is my chance to contribute to the team once more. I'm grateful to be back with DC and looking forward to a good season ahead. I'm just hoping for the best to happen for our team."

In addition to Sree, Delhi Capitals made significant acquisitions in the auction, including South Africa's captain Laura Wolvaardt, West Indies all-rounder Chinelle Henry, and Indian star Sneh Rana.

Sneh expressed confidence in the upcoming season, stating that Sree’s selection was a standout move for the team. "Our team combination looks very good, strong and well-sorted. Shree Charani remains Delhi's best young pick and I'm sure she'll do well this season. I'm hopeful we'll have a great season and finally lift the trophy this time," she remarked.

"I'm very excited to play for Delhi Capitals and get this new opportunity. I look forward to teaming up with new teammates - it will be a great experience. Delhi has explosive Indian batters like Shafali Verma and Jemimah Rodrigues, and I'm really excited to meet and play with them," Sneh added.

Chinelle Henry shared her feelings post-auction, saying, "Honestly, I was really nervous and excited. Now I can finally breathe again. I'm so happy to be returning to India and joining the DC family. I'm actually lost for words - just sitting here in my living room in Australia, feeling overwhelmed with joy."
