With the IPL 2025 auction looming, Delhi Capitals are focused on retaining a core group of players that have contributed to their success. The franchise is keen on striking a balance between experience and youth, ensuring they have the leadership, depth, and flair required to compete at the highest level.

The unquestionable leader

Rishabh Pant, the heart and soul of Delhi Capitals, has been confirmed as their top retention for IPL 2025. The dynamic wicketkeeper-batter has not only excelled with the bat but has also shown tremendous leadership capabilities. His calm yet aggressive approach has won many critical matches for DC. Despite rumors of him being linked to the Punjab Kings, Pant’s loyalty to Delhi Capitals is unwavering, solidifying his role as captain.

Pant is not just a leader but a match-winner. His explosive batting style, particularly in pressure situations, makes him the most valuable player on the team. He has a knack for turning games around with his fearless approach, making him indispensable for DC’s quest for IPL glory.

Axar Patel’s extraordinaire

Axar Patel’s remarkable consistency in IPL 2024 has earned him a well-deserved retention. Known for his versatility as an all-rounder, Axar can contribute both with the ball and the bat. His ability to break partnerships with his accurate left-arm spin and his lower-order batting heroics have made him a key player for DC.

Axar’s dual ability to control the game with both bat and ball makes him one of the most valuable assets for DC. His knack for finishing matches and taking crucial wickets ensures that Delhi Capitals maintain balance in both departments.

Spin master retention

Kuldeep Yadav has found his best form, making his retention by Delhi Capitals a no-brainer. As a chinaman bowler, Kuldeep adds a unique spin option that few teams possess. His ability to bamboozle batsmen with his variations has helped Delhi gain crucial breakthroughs in middle overs.

Delhi Capitals’ spin attack, led by Kuldeep and Axar Patel, has been one of the strongest in the league. Retaining Kuldeep ensures that DC will continue to dominate the middle overs, where spin often dictates the game’s flow.

Anrich Nortje’s pace and accuracy have made him one of the most feared fast bowlers in the IPL. His ability to bowl in excess of 150 km/h consistently adds a serious weapon to Delhi Capitals’ bowling arsenal. In the high-pressure world of T20 cricket, a fast bowler like Nortje can turn matches in a few deliveries. His pace and precision in the death overs have saved many games for DC, and his retention is a statement of intent from the franchise.
