Indian Premier League 2018: Players likely to be retained by each franchisee

Delhi Daredevils

Retain: None

RTM: Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant

One for the future - Rishabh Pant

Delhi Daredevils were one of the few teams ready for open auctions. After a disappointing opening decade in the IPL, they'll be looking to turn over a new stone. With no player worth over 12 crores in their ranks, they are likely to not retain anyone before the auctions and head to the auctions with a loaded purse.

They have two stars of the future in their squad - Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant. Both got their India caps recently, and thus, unfortunately for Delhi, won't be eligible for the ?3 crore retention. Both Iyer and Pant have the potential to be big superstars in the future, and it would be wise of DD to use their RTM cards on them.

Apart from these two future Indian superstars, there are two excellent South Africans who could be retained as well.

Quinton de Kock is a fantastic wicketkeeper and an outstanding opener, and has been consistent at the top for, as Danny Morrison likes to call them, the 'Double Dees'. Chris Morris was instrumental in the Delhi Daredevils' team last season both with bat and ball, and is very likely to be RTM-ed, or even retained.
