Delhi Capitals finished sixth in the IPL 2024 points table under the leadership of Rishabh Pant. Despite an ordinary season for the team, several individual players stepped up and showcased their potential. One such player was Axar Patel, who has had a memorable year so far.
The Capitals are expected to retain Pant as captain once again. Jake Fraser-McGurk is also likely to be on DC’s retention list, given his explosive batting at the top of the order.
Abhishek Porel, still uncapped, displayed his potential this season. He was used as a floater throughout the campaign and seized every opportunity that came his way. Axar Patel who has been very consistent in the IPL is surely in DC retained players list for IPL 2025.
