IPL 2024: List of players released, retained by DC ahead of auction, remaining purse details

Delhi Capitals have released a total of 11 players ahead of the IPL 2024 auction.

Captain Rishabh Pant’s absence was felt at the Delhi Capitals camp in the last season of IPL when the team finished with almost nothing in their hand. Delhi Capitals will see a major change before their next season starts in March 2024. Capitals will be back under Rishabh Pant as skipper. DC might also see changes in their support staff as they are witnessing a change by Sourav Ganguly who will be taking over the coaching duties. Former Indian captain Ganguly is serving as director of cricket in Delhi camp. 

Delhi Capitals had a dismal IPL 2023 season under David Warner. It took them 6 games to win their first match of the season. They got only 5 wins out of their 14 league games in the previous season and finished 9th in the points table. For the most of weeks, DC were languishing at the bottom of the table but somehow they managed to get 2 extra points from Sunrisers Hyderabad who finished 10th in the table. Delhi couldn’t get going in the entire season and their batting performance was below average throughout the season. 

Delhi Capitals will be looking at the mini-auction 2024 with great zeal as they will be hoping for a great deal of batters in the coming season. Delhi lacked a powerful batting performance in the previous season and they will probably look to get a few decent options in the opening batting along with David Warner. They might also go for a few spin bowling options in the upcoming mini-auction. IPL 2024 mini-auction will be held on 19th December in Dubai. This is the first time IPL auction will be held away from India.
