Delhi Capitals Full Retention List For IPL 2025. (BCCI/IPL)
The Indian Premier League is all set to return with for season 18 in 2025. However, before the start of the playing season, the mega auction will mark its return for the first time since 2022. All eyes will be on Delhi Capitals, because they will be expected to be busy on the ausction table. So fans and pundits will be looking at who they retain and release, before the retention window closes on October 31. The franchise is yet to win an IPL title and will have a big shake up with GMR taking over the reigns from GMR group.
Delhi Capitals To Appoint New Captain
Rishabh Pant, Axar Patel, and Kuldeep Yadav are three names doing the rounds for retention. Pant, the wicketkeeper-batter who was also the captain for the franchise last season, is expected to be the top pick for a sum of Rs 18 crore. Recently, Pant raised a few eyebrows after his cryptic post on social media suggesting he might leave DC. Thereafter, on Thursday, a report in TOI claimed that Pant will not be the captain anymore. So that leaves a question mark on whether the dynamic wicket-keeper have such a role ? Only time will tell.
Another big name that might not be retained is Prithvi Shaw. The opener, who was acquired in 2018, has not lived up to the expectations. In IPL 2023, he only scored 106 runs in 8 matches, and in IPL 2024, his tally was 198 runs in 8 matches.
According to news agency PTI, DC might utilise their Right to Match (RTM) card on Jake Fraser-McGurk and Tristan Stubbs.
