Delhi Capitals IPL 2021 squad updates

On January 20, the Delhi Capitals franchise announced a list of all their 19 retentions from their previous squad. Captain Shreyas Iyer, senior Indian players Ishant Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Ajinkya Rahane, R Ashwin and dynamic wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant were among the 19 retained stars alongside overseas players Kagiso Rabada, Marcus Stoinis and others.

The franchise enjoyed its best-ever seasonal outing last time around, reaching the final for the first time in IPL history. However, they lost to Mumbai Indians in the final. Their best-ever seasonal performance is likely to have factored in Delhi Capitals decision to retain as many as 19 cricketers for the next season, i.e. IPL 2021.
