IPL 2022 - Delhi Capitals to retain Rishabh Pant, Prithvi Shaw, Axar Patel, Anrich Nortje

Delhi Capitals have decided to retain the quartet of Rishabh Pant, Prithvi Shaw, Axar Patel and Anrich Nortje for IPL 2022. However, Capitals' former captain Shreyas Iyer, who made his Test debut on Thursday, has decided to head to the player auction instead.

While Capitals could see Iyer's exit as a setback, they wouldn't have been entirely surprised by the batter's decision. Ever since the Capitals handed the captaincy to Pant ahead of IPL 2021, after Iyer was ruled out of the first leg due to shoulder surgery in April, the franchise faced the question of whether they could retain Iyer.
