Delhi Capitals Tease Their Top Picks For IPL 2025 With 'Tridev' Post

Delhi Capitals have hinted at their IPL 2025 retentions through an Instagram post titled 'Tridev'. As the suspense grows over how many players each of the ten IPL teams can retain, the Delhi-based franchise appears to have identified their top three picks.

The post titled 'DC ke Tridev' features captain Rishabh Pant, vice-captain Axar Patel, and star spinner Kuldeep Yadav. All three were part of India's T20 World Cup 2024-winning squad and played in every match during the tournament.

Delhi Capitals Hint at IPL 2025 Retentions

Rishabh Pant returned to lead the team after a 14-month injury layoff in IPL 2024. He was the top scorer for Delhi Capitals with 446 runs in 13 matches, averaging 40.54 with a strike rate of 155.40.

Axar Patel contributed significantly with both bat and ball. He scored a total of 235 runs at an average of nearly thirty and a strike rate of over one hundred thirty-one. Additionally, he took eleven wickets with an economy rate of seven point six five.

Kuldeep Yadav emerged as the leading wicket-taker among spinners for Delhi Capitals. He claimed sixteen wickets, just one short of the most successful DC bowlers Mukesh Kumar and Khaleel Ahmed.

How many retentions allowed ahead of IPL mega auction?

A recent report from Cricbuzz on August ninth indicated that BCCI is unlikely to eliminate the mega auction format. It suggested that each team might be allowed to retain six players including Right to Match (RTM) options.

In the previous mega auction in twenty twenty-two, BCCI permitted only four retentions and disallowed RTM options. However, RTM is expected to return in the upcoming auction, allowing teams to automatically buy back a player if they match the highest bid.

Before the IPL twenty twenty-two mega auction, Delhi Capitals retained Rishabh Pant, Axar Patel, Prithvi Shaw, and Anrich Nortje.

The anticipation around which players will be retained by each team adds excitement as fans eagerly await official announcements from franchises like Delhi Capitals.
