A cricketing prodigy, Taniya Bhatia holds the record as the youngest player to make both List-A (13 years, 345 days) and T20 (15 years, 89 days) debuts for Punjab. While a capable contributor with the bat, the 27-year-old wicketkeeper-batter is primarily renowned for her elite, lightning-fast glovework behind the stumps. With over 70 international caps, Bhatia brings a wealth of experience to the Delhi Capitals, having represented the franchise in previous TATA WPL editions. Reacquired for INR 30 lakh ahead of the 2026 season, she remains a vital component of the Capitals' star-studded squad. Beyond her on-field duties, her veteran presence will be key in mentoring young keeping talents Nandini Kashyap and Mamatha Madiwala.
