Stay tuned for live updates on which players each team is retaining and releasing for IPL 2025!
The excitement is building as the IPL 2025 Retention Announcement unfolds live. Cricket fans across the world are eagerly waiting to see if their favorite players will stay with their teams or enter the auction pool. With major changes expected, the retention list is likely to shake things up for the upcoming season.
Key Highlights
Each team is allowed to retain up to five players, with two “Right to Match” (RTM) options. Here are the updates so far:
Mumbai Indians (MI): MI is expected to retain star players like Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah. Fans are curious to see if they’ll keep last season’s star batter or bring fresh talent to the lineup.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK): With MS Dhoni’s future in the league still in question, CSK may opt to retain young stars Ruturaj Gaikwad and Deepak Chahar.
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB): All eyes are on Virat Kohli. After leading RCB for several seasons, fans are waiting to know if Kohli remains their central figure or if RCB explores a fresh strategy.
Delhi Capitals (DC): With a powerful roster, DC is expected to retain top players like Shubman Gill and Anrich Nortje. However, changes in the batting lineup could surprise fans.
What Retention Means for Teams
Retaining key players offers stability but limits flexibility in auctions. Teams retaining top players are signaling confidence in their core while others may aim for a dynamic squad shuffle.
Next Steps: The Auction
With the retention list finalized, the next step is the IPL 2025 Mega Auction, set for early December. The auction promises high bids and potential game-changers, as teams look to strengthen their rosters ahead of the season. Stay updated on all IPL auction news here.
