Sourav Ganguly identifies auction targets for Delhi Capitals

Delhi Capitals head coach Sourav Ganguly has named two overseas batters the franchise intends to target during the upcoming IPL 2027 auction. Ganguly, who recently replaced Hemang Badani as head coach, expressed interest in re-signing Australian batter Jake Fraser-McGurk and West Indies captain Shai Hope.

Both players have previous experience with the Delhi Capitals. Fraser-McGurk, known for his explosive batting style, played 15 matches for the franchise across two seasons. Shai Hope was part of the squad during the 2024 season.

In addition to these auction targets, the franchise has made significant moves in the trading window. Delhi Capitals have re-acquired Indian wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant from the Lucknow Super Giants for Rs 15 crore, while trading Kuldeep Yadav to the Super Giants for Rs 13.5 crore.
