Unlike the other names, Rishabh Pant won't be in the auction pool as he was retained by his team Delhi Daredevils for a whopping INR 15 crore. The left-hander was terrific for the Daredevils last season as he scored as many as 366 runs in 14 matches at an average of 26.14 and a strike-rate of 166.

His innings of 97 against Gujarat Lions was easily the innings of the tournament as he took the Lions bowlers to the cleaners. He got to play his second T20I for India after his heroics in the IPL and somehow managed to score 38 off just 35 balls.

Since then, his form has been on the decline and he was dropped from the Indian team. He was successful as a captain in the 2017-18 Ranji Trophy as he took his side to the final. But, he was average as a batsman throughout the season and will look to regain his form in the Syed Mushtaq Ali tournament.
