IPL 2025 Delhi Capitals Retention List: The mega auction is going to happen in IPL 2025. Meaning, once again big changes will be seen in all the teams. If we look at the performance of Delhi Capitals in IPL 2024, many ups and downs were seen in its journey. DC played 14 matches in the season, out of which it won seven and lost seven times. If we define this season for Delhi, the team could not maintain the winning streak in the matches. Let us tell you that this season Rishabh Pant returned as captain, who was the highest run scorer for Delhi Capitals this season. Well, their team could not make it to the 2024 playoffs, but they would like to build a strong team for the next season.

Top 4 Players Who Should Be Retain Before IPL Mega Auction

1. Rishabh Pant

Rishabh Pant was seriously injured in a car accident in December 2022. For this reason, he could not play in IPL 2023. Ultimately he returned in 2024 and was the highest run scorer for Delhi Capitals in the season. Pant scored 446 runs in 13 matches in IPL 2024 at a good average of 40.5. It is worth acknowledging that Pant has emerged as a captain in the last few seasons. Being a left-handed wicketkeeper-batsman, Pant is in high demand in the IPL market.

2. Axar Patel

For the last several seasons, the Delhi Capitals team has been full of young players. In such a situation, Axar Patel has been playing for DC for the last 5 seasons which makes him one of the most experienced players in the squad. If we look at Patel’s performance, he scored 235 runs while playing 14 matches in 2024 and also took 11 wickets. Axar was undoubtedly one of the best all-rounders of IPL 2024.

3. Kuldeep Yadav

Kuldeep Yadav’s place in the Delhi Capitals squad for IPL 2024 seems almost confirmed. Kuldeep has been a part of the DC franchise since 2022 and has taken 16 wickets this season. Due to his ability to take wickets on important occasions, the management of Delhi Capitals would not want to release Kuldeep under any circumstances.

4. Jake Fraser McGurk

22-year-old Australian player Jake Fraser McGurk has become a superstar of franchise cricket in no time. McGurk has also played for Melbourne Renegades in the Big Bash League and Dubai Capitals in the UAE T20 League. His IPL debut took place in 2024, where he became the player to score the fastest half-century for Delhi Capitals by completing 50 runs in 15 balls. McGurk has scored 330 runs in IPL 2024 while batting with a blistering strike of 234. DC must retain this player before the auction.
