"We also have Axar Patel, who is excellent, Criston Stubbs, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Kuldeep Yadav, Abishek Porel, Mukesh Kumar, Khaleel Ahmed, all very good players in our team. We’ll see what happens in the auction. But first, as per the rule, we can retain six players. After discussions, we will proceed with the auction and see what happens…"
The retention rules for IPL 2025 have been revealed, permitting teams to retain up to 6 players. However, teams retaining all 6 players will be ineligible to use the Right to Match (RTM) card in the auction. This has led to growing speculation about which players each franchise will choose to retain for the upcoming season.
Kuldeep Yadav's career experienced a revival after his switch from Kolkata Knight Riders to Delhi Capitals. His impressive wrist-spin bowling has been a big advantage for the team, and reports indicate that Delhi is eager to retain him as well. Kuldeep's knack for taking wickets has solidified his role as a vital part of Capitals' bowling attack.
