“I will keep Akshar Patel at number 2”- Aakash Chopra expressed his opinion regarding the retention of Delhi Capitals.

Rishabh Pant is the captain of Delhi Capitals in IPL. Aakash Chopra and Rishabh Pant (Image Credit- Twitter Former Team India batsman Aakash Chopra believes that Axar Patel should be the second retention of Delhi Capitals (DC) ahead of the IPL 2025 auction. He pointed out that the spin-bowling all-rounder has performed excellently for the franchise and it could prove costly for them if they try to re-acquire him through the ‘Right to Match’ card. Delhi Capitals failed to qualify for the IPL 2024 playoffs and the team finished sixth after the league stage ended. Axar was one of the star performers for Delhi Capitals in IPL 2024. He scored 235 runs in 12 innings at a strike rate of 131.28 and took 11 wickets in 44 overs at an economy rate of 7.65. Aakash Chopra gives advice to Delhi Capitals regarding retention In a video shared on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said that Rishabh Pant and Axar Patel should be the first two retentions of Delhi Capitals. He said, “Rishabh Pant needs to be retained, although earlier there were rumors that he would not stay. However, now they are saying that it has been confirmed that he will be staying. So keep Rishabh Pant as your first retention, Rs 18 crore there.” The former opener further said, “I would say Axar Patel at number 2 because Bapu’s performance has been excellent for this team. He bowls four overs, bats very well and is a good fielder. If you keep him in the auction, you will have to pay a lot for RTM, so I think you should retain him.” Chopra admitted that the franchises may retain five capped players ahead of the auction. However, he added that apart from Rishabh Pant, Delhi Capitals do not have any players who should be retained for ₹18 crore, and hence they should limit themselves to only three capped retentions.

IPL 2024: ‘If you are not in form you cannot retain your place’ Praveen Amre on Prithvi Shaw

Delhi Capitals’ chances of reaching the IPL 2024 playoffs are very slim. Prithvi Shaw (Image Credit- Twitter X) In their last league match of the ongoing IPL 2024, Delhi Capitals won against Lucknow Super Giants by 19 runs. The team won 7 out of 14 matches played, while losing the same number of matches. However, during this period, the team gave continuous opportunities to many players in the team, but Delhi management did not give continuous opportunities to Prithvi Shaw. Shaw played a total of 8 matches in the ongoing season in which he could score only 198 runs at an average of 24.75. On the other hand, now Delhi Capitals team’s assistant coach Pravin Amre has given a big statement regarding Prithvi Shaw. Amre says that if you are not in form, you cannot retain your position. Praveen Amre gave a big statement regarding Prithvi Shaw Let us tell you that after the end of Delhi Capitals’ match against Lucknow Super Giants, Praveen Amre said – He (Prithvi Shaw) was one of the players retained by us. As you can see in the last four or five matches he was on the bench. But this is IPL and if you are not in form you cannot retain your place. There was a lot of pressure on the team because every match was important, and we had to win every match. Praveen further said- We played well in today’s match, we played without her (Prithvi Shaw) and won the match. In his place, Abhishek Porel got the chance and he grabbed it with both hands. What a brilliant innings Porel played today. After Jack Fraser McGurk was out in the first over, we managed to score 73 runs in the powerplay, credit for this goes to Shay Hope and Porel.
