But with all the focus being on the players who have been released, little attention has been given to the players who have been retained and how each squard currently looks ahead of the IPL auction.

Writer's opinion

After what could be described as a poor season last year, it is clear that the Delhi Daredevils have spent some time in analyzing their squad and have decided to give their line-up a fresh look. While there are some familiar faces in the squad, it seems almost a certainty that the franchise will be going for a bold new team combination during the next IPL season.

The retained players are all immensely talented and a lot of them have international experience as well. This could mean that the franchise might be looking at opting for a more experienced squad during next year's IPL season to help guide them to the trophy.
