A high-octane right-arm fast bowler known for his searing pace and pinpoint accuracy, Dushmantha Chameera is a formidable force in the Delhi Capitals bowling arsenal. The Sri Lankan speedster, capable of consistently clocking over 145 kph, was acquired by the franchise for INR 75 Lakh at the TATA IPL 2025 Mega Auction. With a wealth of T20 experience and a reputation for striking early with the new ball, Chameera has already proven his mettle on the global stage, most recently spearheading Sri Lanka’s attack in the 2026 T20 World Cup. Recognising his ability to deliver under pressure, especially in the slog overs, the Delhi Capitals have retained Chameera ahead of the TATA IPL 2026 season. His presence adds significant depth and international pedigree to the side's fast-bowling stocks. Alongside the legendary Mitchell Starc, Chameera will be a vital asset in the pace bowling department, forming a lethal partnership intended to dismantle opposition batting line-ups and lead the Capitals' charge for their maiden title.
