Delhi Capitals is one team that has come back to the reckoning after giving itself a new revamped look. From 2019 onwards, the team has always entered the playoffs.

Rishabh Pant has become the face of the Delhi Capitals.

Delhi Capitals is bound to retain their current captain Rishabh Pant. Rishabh Pant is currently having the time of his life captaining this team of several experienced players. On his day, Rishabh Pant can flip the game in the span of just a few balls. When he bats, he bats with a strike rate of more than 150. Rishabh was bought by them back in 2016 and since then has become their bankable asset.

Delhi Capitals will Retain Shreyas Iyer in IPL 2022: –

A batsman from Mumbai has got instilled in the hearts of the Delhi fans.

A decently experienced and fairly young Indian batsman is an ideal commodity for any IPL team. This is exactly what Shreyas Iyer brings to the table. Shreyas Iyer has also had the lead role of Delhi Capitals and he knows what is the thought process of management. Shreyas Iyer has been associated with the Delhi Capitals since 2014. He provides multifaceted abilities. He is a great fielder and unquestionably the most bankable number 3 batsman. His shoulder injury did not stop him from making a mark in IPL 2021. This shows his character.

Delhi Capitals will Retain Shikhar Dhawan in IPL 2022: –

Shikhar Dhawan has made sure that the management doesn’t bring the age factor while selecting him!

Shikhar Dhawan is another obvious retention in the Delhi Capitals team. He doesn’t have age on his side but another mega auction is scheduled just after 3 years. So, Delhi will strongly ponder retaining him. He has been scoring 500+ runs for the last 3 years. This just gives him an added incentive of selection over Prithvi Shaw.

Delhi Capitals will Retain Kagiso Rabada in IPL 2022: –

Kagiso Rabada is certainly on that retention list!!

Delhi Capitals is expected to retain Kagiso Rabada in IPL 2022. The only reason is that Kagiso Rabada is one of the best all-format bowlers. Kagiso Rabada is super quick and he has the pinpoint yorkers. He provides 2 quick overs upfront and gives two tight ones in the death overs.
