IPL 2025: 3 Players Delhi Capitals Might Retain Via RTM

IPL 2025

As the cricketing world sets its sights on Jeddah for the IPL 2025 mega auction, scheduled for November 24-25, teams are strategizing their player retentions with meticulous care. Delhi Capitals, having already retained Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Tristan Stubbs, and the uncapped Abhishek Porel, are poised to leverage their Right to Match (RTM) options to bolster their squad. Here, we explore three players—Anrich Nortje, Prithvi Shaw, and Mitchell Marsh—who could be pivotal for Delhi Capitals’ strategy moving forward.

1. Anrich Nortje:

Anrich Nortje has become synonymous with raw pace and the ability to unsettle any batting lineup. His retention via RTM would be a no-brainer for Delhi Capitals, given his track record of delivering crucial breakthroughs in the powerplay and death overs. Nortje’s ability to bowl at speeds touching 150 km/h not only provides Delhi with a psychological edge but also ensures they have a bowler who can exploit any pitch conditions. His recent performances and fitness improvements make him an asset that few teams would let go without a fight. For Delhi, retaining Nortje could mean maintaining their reputation as a team with one of the most feared bowling attacks in the IPL.

2. Prithvi Shaw:

Prithvi Shaw, when in form, is arguably one of the most destructive openers in the IPL. His ability to score quickly from the get-go can set the tone for the innings, putting immediate pressure on the opposition. Despite injury concerns, Shaw’s potential to be a game-changer has not diminished. His retention would signal Delhi Capitals’ belief in his talent and their strategy to build a top order that can dominate from the outset. Shaw’s inclusion could also mentor younger players, providing them with insights on how to handle the pressure of opening in the IPL. His aggressive style of play aligns well with Delhi’s strategy of setting high totals or chasing down targets aggressively.

3. Mitchell Marsh:

Mitchell Marsh’s versatility with both bat and ball makes him an attractive prospect for any team. For Delhi Capitals, Marsh could be the missing piece that offers depth in the middle order and provides an additional bowling option. His ability to anchor an innings or accelerate when needed, combined with his handy medium pace, makes him invaluable. Marsh’s retention would not only add balance to the team but also provide strategic flexibility, allowing Delhi to adapt to different match situations. His experience in international cricket, particularly in T20s, could be crucial in guiding a relatively young Delhi squad through the rigors of the IPL.

As Delhi Capitals prepare for the IPL 2025 auction, the decision to retain players like Anrich Nortje, Prithvi Shaw, and Mitchell Marsh via RTM could define their campaign. These players not only fill specific roles but also bring a winning mentality and the kind of match-winning performances that can turn seasons around. While the auction will be filled with surprises and strategic bidding, Delhi’s focus on these three could well be the blueprint for their approach towards building a championship-winning side. As the IPL evolves, so do the strategies of its teams, and for Delhi Capitals, these retentions could be the key to unlocking their potential in IPL 2025.
