What made the management not retain Shikhar Dhawan in IPL 2022?

In IPL 2020, he made 618 runs at an average of 44.14 and strike rate of 144.73

In IPL 2021, he made 587 runs at an average of 39.13 and strike rate of 124.62

What made the team management not retain him?

well it’s his increasing age and falling strike rate that made him lose the position.

A team management official in his statement told “Shikhar is now almost 36. Players are getting retained for the next 3 seasons & the franchise wanted to retain those players who can serve the team for the next 3 years. Moreover Dhawan’s strike-rate also has been area of concern. Last year he scored, but he wasn’t that fluent. This is the reason DC decided to invest on the younger players”

The franchise believes that the four retained players are young and will be a good investment for the team. Four of them can continue playing for a tenure of 3 years.

The Delhi management has also not kept their most successful spinners like R.Ashwin and Amit Mishra. Shreyas Iyer who captained the team, won’t remain the skipper for the next season.
