A seasoned left-handed all-rounder, Ajay Mandal holds the record for being Chhattisgarh’s all-time leading wicket-taker in first-class cricket. After being part of the Chennai Super Kings squad in 2023 and 2024, the Delhi Capitals secured his services for a base price of INR 30 Lakh at the TATA IPL 2025 Mega Auction. Recognising his potential as a vital asset to the squad, the Delhi Capitals have retained Mandal for the TATA IPL 2026 season. This continued show of faith by the franchise provides the talented all-rounder with a prime platform to further sharpen his skills and make a significant impact on the big stage.
