DC Retained Players 2025: Full List and Key Decisions for IPL 2025

The DC Retained Players 2025 List reveals the key players Delhi Capitals (DC) have kept for the upcoming DC 2025 IPL Team. Notably, the franchise has decided not to retain star wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant. Instead, they have retained four players: India’s spin duo Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav, South African Tristan Stubbs, and uncapped wicketkeeper Abhishek Porel. Kuldeep, who played a key role in India’s T20 World Cup 2024 victory, was retained for INR 13.25 crore, while Axar Patel, a solid all-rounder with 11 wickets and 235 runs in 2024, was kept for INR 16.50 crore. Stubbs, with his explosive batting and strong performance in 2024, was retained for INR 10 crore. Porel, who showed great promise in his debut season, was kept for INR 4 crore. These retentions reflect DC’s strategic approach as they prepare for the upcoming auction and the 2025 season.
