Delhi Capitals announced the retention of four players ahead of the IPL auction, excluding star wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant. The retained players include Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, and Tristan Stubbs as the capped players, along with the uncapped Abishek Porel. The retention cost for each player will be deducted from the team's total auction budget of INR 120 crore for IPL 2025.
