History
Delhi Capitals Women is one of five franchises in the Women's Premier League (WPL). It is co-owned by the GMR-JSW Group, which also owns the IPL franchise by the same name. The owners shelled out INR 810 Crores to acquire the rights to own the Delhi franchise.
In the ensuing auction, the Capitals spent INR 11.65 Crores to construct their squad of 18. The squad is headlined by marquee signing in the form of Jemimah Rodrigues, for whom they belted out INR 2.20 Crores.
Besides Jemimah, the Delhi Capitals Women went on to add their Australian skipper Meg Lanning (INR 1.10 Crores), Indian opener Shafali Verma (INR 2.00 Crores), South African seam-bowling all-rounder Marizanne Kapp (INR 1.50 Crores), England all-rounder Alice Capsey (INR 75 Lakhs) and Australian SLA Jess Jonassen (INR 50 Lakhs).
The Delhi Capitals Women will open their WPL 2023 campaign against the Royal Challengers Women on March 05 at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai.

Delhi Capitals Women Fan Base
The Delhi Capitals enjoy a huge fan base on social media, with their Twitter and Instagram accounts boasting of 2.5 & 3.3 million followers respectively.
Players to Watch Out For:
Jemimah Rodrigues
Rodrigues can blow hot and cold at times, but when on song, she is a sight to behold.
Rodrigues has garnered a lot of success in leagues like The Hundred or the Women's BBL, and the Capitals will hope she emulates the same in the inaugural season.
In 78 WT20Is, Jemimah has scored 1642 runs @ 29.85/112.77 with 10 50+ scores.
Meg Lanning
A multiple- World Cup winner and a run-scoring machine with the bat, Australia's Meg Lanning will likely be the glue that holds the Delhi Capitals Women's batting-unit.
Given her immense experience in leading sides to title triumphs, it will be interesting to see if DC appoint Lanning as their skipper.
Marizanne Kapp
An out-and-out pacer and a very handy batter, South Africa's Marizanne Kapp could well turn out to be the MVP for the Delhi Capitals Women.
Kapp has thus far featured in 91 WT20Is, in which she has taken 72 wickets @ 19.68/5.45 besides scoring 2366 runs @ 19/95.24.
