Delhi Capitals shows their consistency by qualifying for the playoffs in the past three tournaments. DC faces Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2020 finals where MI won the trophy for the fifth time. The Delhi Capitals have retained 4 players, and the 4 of them will take a collective amount of INR 39 Crores, but INR 42.5 Crores will be deducted from their purse.
In IPL 2021, the Delhi Capitals finished first in the points table but lost in the elimination rounds against Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders.
Delhi Capitals will look to rebuild a strong squad around their four retained players -Rishabh Pant, Axar Patel, Prithvi Shaw, and Anrich Nortje. As a think tank, each team will want a balanced team, with the core and the best thing Delhi has done is they kept four key players in their squad, a top-order batsman, a wicketkeeper-batsman, an all-rounder, and a quick bowler, thus doing the basics right.
