IPL 2021: Delhi Capitals – List of players retained and released

Delhi Capitals bought Woakes for INR 1.5 crores, but the England player pulled out of the tournament to stay fresh for the home season. He was replaced by Australia’s Daniel Sams.

However, contrary to popular belief, Delhi decided to retain Chris Woakes for IPL 2021 as well, given that he brings in the ability to bat as well. Delhi Capitals already have a brilliant all-rounder in Marcus Stoinis and if Woakes plays, they will form a killer combination.
