| After the recently held IPL 3 auctions, Mr Lalit Modi has | | | | In the 2nd season ABDV and Dilshan played superbly |
| now revealed plans for the auction for Indian Premier | | | | for us, while Nannes has bowled brilliantly ever since |
| League 4 and as expected, it has created much hype | | | | he's joined. Vettori is an amazing all rounder and he |
| amongt the fans! | | | | can boost our lower batting order. Warner is biggest |
| Modi announced the inclusion of 2 new teams in the | | | | sensation in T20 cricket, and has played brilliant |
| next IPL. The auction for this was held last week, a | | | | international as well as domestic cricket in the recent |
| Pune team was sold to Sahara and a Kochi team to | | | | past. It'll be a tough decision, but somebody's got to |
| Rendezvous Sports. | | | | make it! |
| The auction for IPL 4 will see many more players | | | | ABDV has a high probability of making through. He's |
| auctioned as the player contracts, which were of 3 | | | | not fired with the bat this season, but his contribution in |
| years, will expire after the end of the season. | | | | the field cannot go unnoticed. |
| Upon requests from many of the old franchises, it has | | | | He's bound to play a good innings sometime in the |
| been decided that each franchisee may retain 4 | | | | near future, and is a great prospect for the next 3 |
| domestic players and 2 foreigners from their squad for | | | | years for Delhi. |
| the next edition so as to maintain the fan-base. | | | | Dirkey is likely to be retained. He's given up domestic |
| There has been much debate on who among the | | | | australian cricket just to be part of the IPL. He's been |
| Daredevils will be retained by GMR or whosoever is | | | | the best bowler for the Daredevils over the last 2 |

| It has been rumored that Virender Sehwag will leave | | | | combination with Nehra on the other end. |
| Delhi for Mumbai in the next season. There's also a | | | | Dilshan has underperformed in this season, with the |
| new rumor that Yuvraj will be leaving KXIP for | | | | bat, bowl and on the field. He's now been dropped to |
| Mumbai, so I think it's really rumour that's going about. | | | | bring in all rounders. |
| So, Viru is surely going to be retained, no? | | | | Frankly, i'll be very surprised if he's retained. |
| Gauti is also a must for Delhi in the next season seeing | | | | Vettori has rarely played in the IPL, but the matches in |
| as he's our captain. I don't think Gauti will be too happy | | | | which he has, he's done brilliantly. With amazing |
| if he gets separated from Viru really. They're best of | | | | international records over the recent years, he might |

| Dinesh Karthik has played well for us over the 3 years | | | | Warner also is a player who can be retained. But, he |

| Personally, I hope he stays. He's been too consistant to | | | | DD has some good young all rounders who have |

| The 4th domestic player who can be retained include | | | | Henriques, McDonald are in the team, but chances of |
| one of DK/Miths and one of the bowlers. If it comes to | | | | them being retained is slim. |
| the bowlers, Ashish Nehra will be heading the list. | | | | All in all, it's pretty clear about who will be retained |
| There is a great contest among the 2 foreign players | | | | among the domestic players, but the restriction of 2 |
| who can be retained. | | | | foreign players a side being retained is just outrageous! |
