Delhi Capitals have a new coach and a new director of cricket in place in Hemang Badani and Venugopal Rao, respectively with GMR set to control the operations as part of the co-ownership deal with JSW taking the back seat for a couple of years and that had a lot to do with their retention choices.

Star wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant not retained by Delhi Capitals for IPL 2025 mega auction, per ESPNcricinfo.

They would go into the auction with highest purse of Rs 110.5 crore and also four RTM (Right To Match) cards
